Clara's Journal

The name suits them...............

Morning Fran.

Great summer colour there. I see a couple of my cosmos seed popping up this morning. Every morning I cant wait to get a chance to lift the lids on the propagator to see what has come up, its the most satisfying feeling !

Myrtle is your propagator heated ? I put the trays into the hot press over night hope I am ok to do that ?

It seems to be working for you. Yes I got a heated one last year in Mr Middleton. It has 7 little trays, I get great pleasure from it :) but it is space for all the pots when it comes to potting up:(

Gosh, they're going to be gorgeous. Never saw that variety before.

Hope I did not make the same mistake as last year sowing to many but I can ofload some to my sisters, I forget Myrtle about that part potting on but will keep going. Jacinta on the packet some of them are even black stripes on them if you want I can send you some seeds ?

Yes, please, Clare. But don't send too many. Kitchen will be started in 2 weeks so everything is still up in a heap. Can't take out my 3-tiered growing racks just yet.

Ok Jacinta,    just shocked at the terrible Tsunami in Japan.

Very striking colours.

Wow, what a great range of colours.  Enjoy

Wow, fab colours, will be lovely in the summer

I can just see them in your 'hot border'

So this year,your garden will be in yellow Clare?Very nice:))!

How did your Bo Jangle turn out?

I bought a packet last year and got only single yellows.

I bought another packet this year and have only 1, yes one, double flower.

I asked Suttons about this but they weren't very interested and offered to give me a refund.
