firefly - ours are in one big clump and look lovely. My clematis has buds on as well. I have just got a large honeysuckle plant as well to plant against the fence when it has been painted. We haven't got a rhubarb plant at the moment but would like to get one. I have lovely big heads on my peonie but the plant still looks battered from the dog. We also have a lovely lilac aquilegia in bloom which Fred put plant pots around to protect it at the weekend as its his favorite. We have a lovely lemon one as well.

your garden sounds lovely sylv :j
hope you do get some rhubarb
i'm going to try juicing it again this year :j
do you grow any herbs? I grow & dry loads so they last me
all year & jar/sell them to others, makes a nice little 'earner'
they're so expensive to buy in the shops :eek:

firefly - have chives and have some edible lavender but have never tried to eat it. Could do with growing some but would have to be in pots as my borders are getting pretty full up. We did have a vegi section but it was hard to keep up with as I can't do the hard digging as my hands are not too good and Fred doesn't particularly like gardening although he loves admiring it.

These herbs will merit any successful cultivation £££ :eek: :rotfl:

My Euromillions ticket was a disaster. No;s either too low or too high!!


SYLV~ thanks for encouraging me to play on as got 3 ALL-bran boxes in the end. How many did you finally get?



need help in the garden?

must admit i use the chives a lot, love them cut thin in salads or sprinkled on top of new potatoes, mixed in mash pots &/or in omelettes/scrambled eggs yummy
understand what you mean about maintaining the ground x
do you or anyone remember the comp to win the hazelnut trees?
would be lovely if any of the other winners posted how theirs are doing, mine are growing great :j only worry is the squidges will get the nuts before we get chance to :eek::eek:

:D:D I won the book 'How to Grow Your Own Drugs' :eek:
a while back & once i'd read it & took all the notes out I wanted I donated it to the complex's raffle stuff, the manageress nearly choked on her coffee at the time when I gave it her :rotfl::eek::rotfl:
until I explained it was about medicinal plants/herbs :rotfl::rotfl:

firefly - did you win a hazelnut tree then?




Don't remember that comp but you will have to watch out as you know how much the squids like their nuts :rotfl::rotfl: love the chives too. I love basil as well so might start a herb garden soon. You have got me interested now. Love fresh mint on new pots as well.

iluvcats - got two boxes delivered and won a 3rd dog bowl yesterday for DD's dog. A few weeks ago I couldn't win one.:T

yes, I won two hazelnut trees :j:j
there were quite a lot of winners on the comp, have been trying to find it but as it's over about 2 years ago search isn't finding it
will keep looking though as I want to see who the other winners were,

love basil as well, specially with home grown tomatoes,
I slice the tomato in half & put shredded basil on top, tastes delic :j
have you any rosemary? it's not only good for cooking but makes a lovely conditioner for your hair :j

:j:j great wins keep them coming :j:j:j
