    Thank you very much for the planting plan mum of 4.:j
    I'm looking forward to adapting it to my new garden.

    Oh dear, I'm going to miss my polytunnel. No autumn sown sweet peas for me this year. :cry:

    I don't surpose you can remember what type they are can you.

    and am i correct that you plant the flowers in the same basket as the strawberry plants.
    I have no idea what type they are. They were originally 2 trays of half dead ones i bought reduced from b&q. I initially planted them in pots with only compost (peat) - which i know you should not really do however i figured that if they have lots of good leaves then good roots would follow. The following year i put them in the centre of the hanging baskets and put plug plants (flowers) round them then filled the basket in normal garden soil with slow release fuchsia feed and stuff (can not remember what it is called!) that helps the soil retain the water.

    Well on this wet and windy day i have caught up with sending answering all your emails and have sent the plans to the people who have requested them.

    If you haven't recieved them let me know because i think that I lost three pm's earlier in the week and i can't remember what the forum names were.

    Started to plan the book today, and have started my sweetpeas off in root trainers.


    I think mine might be one of the lost ones as I didn't get them:sad:

    I've PM'd you again so thank you in anticipation :T I can't wait as we've just taken on a new plot :j
