Don't worry, Pip - there's nobody to see you. LOL. I have spare blankets, Tt. No shivering! :-))

 

Outside,of course, staring at the coldframe, WILLING them to root fast! hahaha. I shall put the kettle on - but you'll need a torch, as we don't have street lights here. (Good - on clear nights, you can see the stars!)

 

Nowhere at all?? There must be! I don't believe you. Aren't there any on the Notts. website?

 

Fingers crossed, now!

 

You're welcome. I saw it last winter - because the scent wafted at me in a GC....so I decided to get one!

The seeds were T&M, and they grow to about 15" maybe? Without a torch and a ruler, that's a guess! lol.

 

Oh - such a nuisance! Maybe it'll improve this week...is Holly on half-term?

 

STOP PRESS!!

I have potted up some little rooted pieces - only tiny at the moment, so not ready to send to you, but it shouldn't take long for them to establish! :-))

 

Good... and it stopped drizzling here in time for me to get outside and do quite a lot before the darkness arrived! :-))

On blog - Meant to be?

 

Mine survived last winter's hard frosts and has gone crazy this year. It has taken off over the trellis and wandered into the farmer's field over the fence! It's mingling with his brambles and nettles. LOL. It'll win, too!

 

Warm!! It's been drizzling a bit, but sunny in between. Can't be bad, can it? I planted the new Sarcococca and replanted another container this afternoon. One more to go!

 

OK...thanks for the advice. :-))

On question - Patio rose

 

Thanks - I can see buds on my magenta one - which is very old - not like this, which is relatively new. :-)

I like Spring, as well....:-))

 

I feel awful when mine flower - I just hope he has more success next year!

Yes, and I don't like it, Ian! :-((

 

Thanks, Mr. Greenfingers. :-))

Well, it was getting dark at 5 o'clock, so I needed the flash outside, Ian!

 

P&A need to get even MORE techie, don't they! lol.
