What episode are you on? Haven't seen Gino in it yet.

Just general observation. Still on the latest episode. Is there no GW Friday night?

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Gardeners World??, yes it was on last night, loved the Winter Garden

 

[alp]

Thanks, @Upsy Daisy ! I just couldn't download it. I really enjoyed the first one!

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Carol went to Bodnant Gardens.......beautiful!

 

[alp]

I think we have been there 3 times or more! Not half as good as Dyffrin!

Have you been there?

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Oh! As a winter garden with colour it looked pretty good.....well on TV anyway

 

[alp]

Oh, she went in winter!? Much better in summer. We also went to Penrynth Castle. Quite a few lovely places in Wales, including Chirk Castle.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Yes, it was lovely .....amazing the range of colours in it ,heathers, dogwoods and colourful foliage.......my garden in winter is a tad boring I'm going to watch the clip again and note down the names she mentions,
I did try and grow a couple of heathers....but the soil is not appropriate for them.

 

[alp]

I wish I had land for heathers. I love them, but they way gcs spray them with colours really annoys me. I need to find space for my hellebore seedlings. Remember, there are heathers and heathers. Look around and see which ones you like. Some of them have tidier leaves and they look far superior to the straggly ones.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

No I won't bother with them again as they failed miserably the first time.

Spoke with my neighbour yesterday and asked if I could pinch some of her lovely pink Hellebore seedlings......she said ' yes just come and help yourself '

I'm recording brittan at low tide, on ch4 8pm.
This week it's the river seven estuary, it's got dangerous tidal thingies.

Go for a mature plant as you never know if the seedlings will come true. Hellebores are very promiscuous and that's why it is so difficult to name them. Try to get one which has flowers. Even I found it hard to find the same plants in my garden and I think I should have nearly 80 of them. That's why I have no room for anything else.

Morning all, going off topic.

Who us @Logan????...........never!
