Rachel's Journal

OMG....how long did that take you? Put up photos of the said 273 plants please =)

That dactylorhiza looks gorgeous! 

that sure is planting on a grand scale. well done. love coleus for its wonderful colours and velvety touch

Shazz, if you look 8 journals down, there is a photo of the border with the first 95 plants in it. They are mostly small so don't look very impressive (yet). I'll post another photo when I'm all finished as I'm off to watch Chelsea now : )

It's my first year growing Coleus, Sean. i love it already too : )

I thought I was busy! I'm sure you will be thrilled with it when it is all in full colour. That is a beautiful orchid, the colours and markings are just lovely.

Oho...well done Rachel!!!How tall was squirrel grass?I have very nice plants,time to plant them out(thanks for seeds:))

  And yes,THAT hardy orhid,is beautiful.All my only now start grow.

I'll be glad to have it done, Myrtle. The I have to plant up the new Tropical Border then the big one at the front. It's impossible to know if I have enough plants - probably not. Should have sown more.

Liga, are you telling me the squirrel grass seed I gave you germinated? I got a very poor germination rateand gave up on it in the end. I got more seed from, Bill. 

If i didn't mixed up names ,then yes,nearly all.Just sorry i didn't sowed them earlyer.So,how tall is it growing:))

Not tall, Liga, about 20 inches. Maybe I shouldn't have given up on my seed!

Thanks:)!

You have a very large selection of plants so far in that border Rachel.The slugs will love to pay a visit.When i arrived home Carol Kleins,Grow Your Own Veg book was waiting for me.Plenty of suprises [veg book and clay] on a Friday evening.Good luck with the outcome of all the border plantings.
