Thanks Sandra, by the time you have finished you will be able to open a specialist Fuschia nursery Lol

lol, its where to put them in winter, i will have a house ful he he

At this rate you'll have none left! What have I started??????? X~}

lol mari, well 3 on the list and will go on what takes and first come first served basis lol, think i will manage 3 anyway :o)

Cool! I will make good with the buddleia cutting, & if you've spotted anything else, I'll have a try! I've taken lavender cuttings from my lot, if you're interested!

i have that mari, thanx anyway :o))

ive just ordered a pasionflower off ebay, cant wait, its a plug but will pot as soon as it come then ask for addvice on GOY, they are so pretty mari

Sounds good, I CANT buy any more plants (at least not til I get my student loan sorted out!) i've bought loads of seeds from Ebay, some really unusual ones, so wait & see what happens when I sow them! Black Hollyhocks for one!

oooww that sounds good mari, cant wait to see a pic of that one :o)

Haven't sown it yet, do you want a couple of the seeds to try? I got 10.

no you try then mari, see how you go, just incase you need more, if it works can have seeds off your plant next year,:o))

Okey Dokey!

stunning pic..beautiful fuchsia Sanbaz

thankyou deida. it lovely isnt it, but this damn rain dont help,

raining here also..mind you we had a lovely weekend for a change

yes it was lovely , nice having all the doors and windows open, i love that feeling

What a beautiful fuchsia, so many blooms.

thanx dotty must be all the rain we had, and plenty of tomatoe feed

Ahhhh so thats the secret.!!

well it works for me, my baskets are so full this year, im very pleased :o))

Gorgeous San. This is like the swingtime fuschia, full of blooms. Fav.

it has been amazing GT, glad you like her, ive taken some cuttings just in case i loose her in winter,

Of course you wont lose her! You CANT!

lol mari.. i`ll make sure she survives :o))

LOL!

love this fuschia, I want one any idea what its called San? xx

Thank you San! She's still surviving!

Ali im not sure of name but i have some cuttings, the thing is i took some of two differant ones, both lovely but got them mixed up lol, if you want one pm your address and you can have one with pleasure :o)
thats great mari, apparently they can loose leaves over winter so dont worry and dont let it get to wet, more on the dry side, sea told me, keep in unheated room over winter away from direct light but light room,

Unheated room? My house is tiny (1 bedroom) & I dont have a spare room I can keep unheated!! :~((

ok well maybe might be ok it your shed mari, has it a window? as long as the frost cant get to it but it has light

I'm going to insulate the shed, & theres a window. My freezer's under the window, so the heat off thet would stop it freezing, I think! I'll wrap the pot in bubble wrap too.:~)

good idea mari :o), then you can pop other plants there to

Yep! Just need to get on with the shed clearing! I got my path dug out today tho!

thats great mari, how did your back cope with that,every year we clear shed and still gets full lol

I need to empty it to get the insulation in! Need to redo the roof too!
:~(((( Back's a bit sore but nothing major! Worth the sense of achievement!!! I'm gonna put the lounger cushions & stuff in the attic, that'll save a LOT of space!

good idea and they wont get damp either, i put them in bin liners to be sure

I have to put them in binliners to get them up there! The hatch is tiny so i need to pull them up behind me & manouever them in!

i hate going up in attic, spooky and high lol

Mine is also really low, so you have to crawl about in it! :~((

wouldnt like that, at least i can stand in ours,,at my last house was like that mari, low roof

Yes, I was really disappointed, I'd hoped to be able to use it as a craftroom!

know what you mean as i wanted to use mine as another room so boys didnt have to share, but builder said it wasnt worth it and for the money it would cost

Even if I owned this I couldnt do it, its mid-terrace!

anyway would only have bigger heating bills mari so keep it small, cosy :o)

I suppose! But I'll need to move into the shed at this rate!

one of those summerhouses would be lovely mari,, we need to win lottery first though, alot of people buy them to have as office or work space

Yes, but I've dug up nearly all of my garden now!!

:o(( oh well back to drawing board,,

Indeed! But where can I fit a drawing board????? LOL!

im gone,, zapppp x

So you keep saying! LOL!

Missed these somehow....so much to take in on here!!

They are stunning, like strawberries & cream!!

yes they are Dan, im going to try save the whole plant to if i can :o)

I got the cutting San, but where's my massage????
Dan, you just made me hungry!!

is your back bad mari?? baz just put a shelf in shed for me so i can pop plants in there to, im sure its warm enough as its a new shed this year so no damp or anything,

Its not too bad considering I've spent half the day shifting gravel through the house in a bucket!
My shed roof leaks! Need to sort it soon, but I hate heights!

is there anyone who can help you? pitty we dont live closer, my baz helps my mates here when i ask him, he`s a good man

Aw! Thats sweet!
I'll sort it somehow! Do it when the neighbours are out! They tend to come over all macho!!

good idea , thats th eway to do it mari, let out a cry with your back to

Nah, I just do the "I can manage......I think" & look all pathetic!

even better, men love that dont they, think we are pathetic but really we just know how to work it lol

Exactly! How do you think I got the extra worktop & the outside tap???
:~))))

:o)))))

See, I was right....manipulative to the core you women.

Oh yeh, you think because I'm not saying much on here tonight - listing stuff on Ebay actually tomake more wonga for plants and garden stuff - I don't see or hear what you two are discussing but I DO!

'Oooh, we know what buttons to press don't we San?'

Yes Mari, what ever we want we just look pathetic and ....hey presto!'

Tut tut!! :0)~~

IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!
:~)D~~~~~

lmao Dan heheh

That is the most beautiful Fuchsia I have ever seen,well Done.

thankyou so much pitta, i absolutly loved it and have taken cutting incase the mother plant doesnt do as well next year, i love the bigger fuchsia flowers :o))

Sanbaz, I don't know a lot about flowere so I could be wrong, is it Lady thumb, and have you seen fuchsia annabel pure white and is on my wish list, as is leonora,another all one colour,but this one is pink. PS it could even be swingtime.

yes its swingtime cliffo, i love them, hope they do as well next year to, i will check out annabel , i better label this ;o))
just looked and thats a beauty thanx on my wish list now :o)

Lovely plant Sandra and a beautiful picture -I just bought some in Wilko's today ;-)

thanx richard i loved them, fed them regular and deadheaded to, lots of watering as they soon dry out in baskets, but lasted me a long time, ive just got some more fuchsia, but would love these again, will look at weekend ;o))

Thanks for pointing me to your pics Sandra. I used to belong to Leicester Fuchsia society for a number of years and had a lot of different ones at one time; in the end I was overwhelmed with them !. Now I will just keep a few of my favourite ones and overwinter them. They root very easily from cuttings at around this time of year :-)

i lost all my fuchsia in winter richard, had lots which i really liked, kept them in growhouse with fleece but no signs of life, so think they are gone, normally just leave them out but as we had really bad winter i thought i would protect them, i guess you can get overwelmed with to many,, hywel has loads dont know how he does it ;o)

What I am going to do is to take a few cuttings in about August and bring them indoors on the window sill in the winter. Then by about February/March they should be large enough to take cuttings off to start off some more plants for spring/summer. It is difficult to keep large plants, or a lot of them, through the winter unless you have a spare room or something like that. I have used that method with my impatiens (busy lizzie) this year :-)

i may try that again richard, lost them last time but will give it another go ;o)) good luck with yours ;o)

Thanks Sandra :-)
