Love Lavender, very easy to propagate from cuttings too, Some of our woody ones are being replaced . Did loads of cuttings last year and will use them, and will take a load more from the plants being removed too before they are composted

@upsyDaisy you have a good rest today. Very nice of hubby to give you breakfast in bed. How did you do your lavender cuttings please?

Your life is full of house-moving, @Upsy Daisy !

6th floor. My friend's 2 daughters live on the 4th floor and there is no lift. Imagine the exercise they will have when moving. It's not funny!

Don't think I will try the unproven elderberry leaves. The itches have subsided. Thank you for the suggestions, @Logan !

Need to go to Lidl to get some fruits.

The butterfly weeds really surprised me as the snow was so severe last year and yet they came back. Some were sown last year and they are still here. Amazing resilience.

Good morning
My agapanthus is starting to bloom I have searched on internet but can’t find what variety it is but it’s by far my favourite plant going to split it later in the year

@Leeski Can I have some seeds for your favorite please. I will give you something in exchange. Is that OK?

Notes to others: Join neatly behind me in the queue please?!

Agapanthus roseus Strawberry Ice Wild guess! Wow! Collect the seeds and sell them on ebay.

Yes...he"s lovely....that's why I married him

Soft tip cuttings with rooting compound.
But have recently read up on taking hardwood cuttings, might do both this year and compare the results to see which is best

Just come back after a whole day of shopping.

Got a double hydrangea

Salvia Patends

I have bought the seeds 3 times and I can't be bothered to wait. This one cost me £2.75! Hey, presto! I have flowers and stems for cuttings. Money well spent.

A Thalictrum Splendide for under £8

A red?? Echinacea for £3.

I hope it is a red as I have already had orange, purpurea

My best buy is with the bargain thread.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Wow......I must come shopping with you @alp
