CJ, the marigolds & cornflowers should do very well; germinate easily & grow like weeds; don't know nigella so looked it up in the Thompson & Morgan catalogue, & germination is 14-30 days; says "easy". I've never grown catnip from seed, started years ago with a pot from the garden center; as I said it reseeds like mad outside, so sure it would be easy to do indoors. I to use Google for everything...wonder how we ever got along without it!!Patio roses sound lovely...go for them!  |

when i get around to it am gonna gather together all my pots, and re-fill with fresh compost put some patio roses in some, and find something nice for the others. NO sign to the cat grass yet! lol. I have no idea how i managed withough google lol. IN one pot i kinda got this ivy looking plant. my hubby swears it's an indoor plant but it's been in the pot since last srping and is still alive, it looks nice, trails over the edge of the pot. It was nice last year as i had all pink and red begonia's (brought as plants though lol) if i grow plants and we move house can i tale them with me? ie dig em up? Just thinking we got no idea when we're going to move. mind you for 19p a a packet for the seeds i dont know if it's worth moving them all. getting the garden fence fixed this week, slumlords finally doing it,been fallen over for 6 months. theyre also fixing a stuck window after 2 years and a broken back door lock, thats been four years waiting! (i cant lock the back door from the outside, somebody tried breaking in with a screwdriver or seomthing and bent the lock) anyway, back to plants. the nigella are called persian jewels also. Never seen them before, but they were cheap in netto so thoguht why not lol |

no i meant more from the side of will digging em upand moving em kill em. ******ed if i am leaving anything behind. we didnt even have sink plugs or light fittins when we moved in here, and the garden was a mass of those trailing weeds that spread in little strings for miles and wrap themselves around everything. It was so high that until we had pulled half of it up we didnt know there was a garden fork buried under it, the fork was standing upright stuck int he mud! it was that bad!!!all the garden was cement or shingle. mind you it dontlook much better now thanks to hubby churning it all up and never finishing the job |

If you think/know you will be moving shortly (say 15 months or so) I'd suggest putting anything new in the ground in a pot. Does that make sense? If it's happy in the pot you buy it in, leave it and bury the lot. If it needs taking out then put it in an oversized pot and again, put the lot in the garden. Some plants are very good about being uprooted and replanted but a lot are temperamental and would rather not. If they're in the pot you can enjoy them this year and pick them up and plant them properly when you're in your permanent home. |

CJ, had an idea...why don't you go online to Thompson & Morgan & order their catalogue...it's free here in the States so asssume it would be there also. It's chock full of info: germination time, whether plant is annual or perennial, for sun, semi-sun or shade, how deep to sow, whether it's a good cut flower and oodles of more stuff, plus the illustrations...it is really a reference work. Think you might enjoy having it to refer to!! |
