Hi,
Just dropping in to the thread again.
I have not been doing much in the garden lately. Just planted some dwarf daffs. where the Nasturtiums were (are) to give some display before they start growing all over the place next year.
Speaking of seeds, I discovered that I had forgotten to take the seed heads of my Dierama so I can look forward to dozens of seedlings in the pebbles next year.
I have had a few frosts already (early this year) which has hammered Fuchsias and Salvias. But they will be fine if we don't get the extremes of last year. The sub shrubby Salvias are great value and flower twice in the year, just not very hardy.
As I work along the coast in north Dublin, I sometimes forget how much colder it is, just 20 miles inland in Navan.
Cheers, happy gardening.
