Sweet Rocket ~~ A Special Place ~ ' Blog '

Amy, that must be quite an experience.

It is Muddy , the first time I saw it a couple of years ago , I think I was in shock ! I just stood and stared, it didn't seem real , we followed a stream that had a few on the banks then there became more and more until we reached the trees to see this sight stretched out as far as you could see . stunning ....

Simply stunning Amy, I love them and I'm so grateful you introduced them to me, they are just perfect for me. And the aroma, hmmmm

Oooooh beautiful.............

Amazing, Amy...what a fantastic place I bet the scent was incredible!!

Your welcome Dawn , I'm pleased that I was able to get the seed for you to start you off :o))
They really are Maureen BOOTIFUL as we say in Norfolk ...Lol.. The scent hits you at once Janey , I don't know of another place like it :o))

Heavenly, simply heavenly. :o))

It is wonderful Linda :o)

such a beautiful secret place you have,

that's lovely! Very special.

Just heavenly and can imagine the scent as we used to have them at the cottage mainly white and a pale lavender;0)

How beautiful is that! Makes a change from bluebells too

The Sweet Rocket are quite tall Tetarch, waist/chest height ... Pack quite a punch!

Thank you all :o) We feel very lucky to have found them and to be able to see them each year ...
I can send you some seed if you would like some more plants Carole ! ........

I didnt realise they were that tall Dawn, the perfume must really be "up your nose"!

It's overpowering in a mass like this Tet , you can smell it before you can see it ..

What else can I say, wow........

Let me know if you would like some seeds Kathy !

Mmmm could do with some seed to scatter over next doors weedpatch..and the one next to that LOL! I'd need half the wood I reckon.

I will send you some seed when they have some if you Like Tet.let me know !

Amy, I've always grown these seeds in trays and planted out - not sure if they would grow by scattering, what do you think.

I think they might Dawn it must be how they have spread themselves at this place naturally , there's no harm in trying but sow a few seeds in trays as well to be sure of a few more , it would save you loads of work x

Worth a try Amy. I still have lots of grass under my trees so worry if they could compete.

Thanks for the offer Amy, but I was joking..they probly would pull it out cos it would spoil the weeds!

When we went to this place last autumn to collect your seed Dawn ,it was waist high with nettles/grass etc. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to find the seed heads, I think they must be able to cope somehow.
O.k Tet , they do need a lot of room to grow as well . :o)

When I collect the seed, I'll save some for seed trays and sprinkle the rest, like you say Amy, they seem to be able to cope with the long grass and nettles etc. Thank you.
