It's ok to use plastic but we've got to recycle more, or re-use it. I don't throw away the bags that have fruit and veg in, i re- use them for the next lot of fruit,veg.

Yes I've put them in the propagator and put bubble wrap over it, i've looked at the seed and they still look ok. Thanks.

If I were the seeds, I wouldn't bother to pop my head out! Can you blame them? This crazy weather! My iris rhizomes are nowhere near proper flowering size and it's two months to May! Should I pray or curse?

seeds and plants do catch up.

 

[Logan]

Yes, we do that too

some of the plastic bags aren't recyclable.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Yes true @Logan.....but some types are no where near so robust, just depends on what they are


It's still is amazing what CAN'T be recycled, isn't it.

Another interesting helleborus

Another one with a purple collar

There is a distinct chill in the air. The sunshine makes it very pleasant to sit in the living room, caressed by the sunshine .. Very nice.

@alp you've been busy, the packets look great.
Always like your hellebores.

Come back from the hygienist, my teeth are doing well.

It wasn't Henley in Arden, it's Tamworth in Arden.
Just by Beoly village, not far away.

 

[alp]

Thank you! So you've feast your eyes on your handsome dentist? Hehe!

Lovely afternoon in the garden....not really doing much except for tidying and pottering . Managed to fleece up the two camellias for what it's worth!!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Where do you keep your sown seeds @alp ?

Still holding back from startiing as I'm determine not tp have pots and trays in the house.... but can't wait to get started! Will probably start once this cold snap has passed
