  Brent Idea Acrid Nymphs.

OK acrid nymphs or to the more edumacated acronyms. 

Let’s play fellow growers. 

Example - SWAT7D

= Snow White and the 7 Dwarves. 

WC

= White Christmas

It doesn’t have to be film or music but a hint with each might be good. 

OK G2’s

QE2?


Sorry B it wasn’t supposed to say Brent. I wish I didn’t have fat fingers.

  Supports for clematis

On the back of receiving 10 plants this week. ....

What supports do you use for yours?

I've a couple of Montana - they are group 1 and don't need cutting back and are pretty much thugs.

I've also got some Viticellas - group 3. Fast growing and are generally chopped right back in Spring and flower on all new growth.

  Flowers to sow in June
Posted by: Veggie - 10-06-2020, 07:08 PM - Replies (5)

Shamelessly stolen from Plants of Distinction..............

JUST SCATTER & SOW

FOR GLORIOUS LATE SUMMER COLOUR 
Even though we’re now into June, there are still some ‘swift to bloom’ annuals that can be direct sown into containers, beds and borders and which will give some lovely colour right through to early Autumn.
We have some beautiful flowers such as Calendula, Cosmos, Eschscholzia, Helianthus, Marigolds, Nasturtium & Nigella which, for the novices amongst us, are so easy to grow. Simply scatter the seeds where you want them to flower and remember to keep the soil moist. Once the seedlings have emerged you may want to ‘thin out’ a bit but there’s nothing difficult about it at all.


.......................

Time to find your odd packets of seed and go forth and scatter. Smile

I've never grown turnips - not sure I've ever eaten one, definitely never cooked with one.  I'm aware the can go into stews but what else can you do with a turnip?  I have so many freebie pkts of turnip seed, maybe you lot can convince me to grow some.

Would it be useful to have a thread with a list of commonly used acronyms made on here as a reference tool for users? Maybe we could all throw a list together and then someone compile it in to an easy to view alphabetical list?
