That's a shame about your Irises, now you know not to buy from them again.

As soon as I paid, I regretted it. The dying straw heads just confirmed my worst fear! If I can coax a bit of life from them, I will upload photos here. The worst is Pass the Wine - probably already dead from alcoholic poisoning!

Some full moon, some blue moon and total lunar eclipse visible somewhere else! Amazing!

I've potted up some hellebore seedlings, they were in the wrong place and i hope that they'll be a cross between a purple and a white double that's close by.

Follow the video, @Logan ! You can't go wrong. This year, I saw some wishy washy dots on my hellebores and it suddenly dawned on me that I bought some BREEDERS' CHOICE from the same infamous company. Breeders' rejects more like it.

A dying Wendy's Gold

Waited for one whole year, but the slugs obviously had other ideas

A mostly buggy helleobore. Yet it could have been so beautiful!

Another beauty
Really special to me!

A more resistant hellebore

 

[Logan]

@alp yes thanks i will. Those are amazing hellebores. I really like the double one and the veins in the petals.

Look out for Farmyard as their prices are quite reasonable. I got them from them and the labelling was all correct, unlike the bane I usually buy from. You can also get them from Hayloft. Prices are OK and labelling mostly correct. Thank you and hope to see more of yours. Just take a pencil and go around to do it. Quite fun. I just did some hand pollination.

I love the first two, but the first one is so buggy.

 

[Logan]

Yes i'll have a look.
Did the first lot of the parsnips. 36 altogether.

I've covered them with clingfilm

Just to have a laugh, I have started some sort of competition here

Can we have a photo too with clingfilm on please? Is it just for the top? I often wonder how big your garden is - room for parsnips??

@Logan They are heavy duty tissue rolls .. Some serious runs!

My loving husband said, the front garden is bigger than most but not as big as some.
We're on the corner and the garden goes around it.
