My Collection is Growing Thanks to Shirley Tulip

ooh i can see my favourite ~ midnight rose!!

I can see my favourite too, Marmalade, which a lovely GOY member sent me a piece of too ;-)
Lucky you Carole lovely collection there :-))

You will have a lovely display very soon, Carole. I hope to get to the Kent Garden Show at the end of the month where last year there were several 'heuchera stands' doing special offers. I have a list as long as my arm but will have to shorten it before I go :)

I am pleased they have arrived safely, Carole ... the cardboard tube was the inner tube of some Christmas gift wrap ... I knew it would come in useful in early May! ... :o)

thats great carole, hope they do well :o))

Thanks Sticki and Kathy Midnight Rose and Marmalade seem to be very popular with Goy members;0)

Hi Gee I do envy you the Kent Garden Show, will look forward to seeing your purchases lol Ive just taken a picvture of the Heucheras you sent me, Im so pleased with them they are really coming on in just over a week, will put the pic on for you ;0)

Thanks again Shirley the Christmas roll certainly came in handy isnt it just ideal for little plants, Im going to get some grit tomorrow to put round the plants so the slugs wont get them;0)

Thanks Sandra isnt it lovely to give and recieve plants on Goy, I noticed your Red Dragon is sending up strong new shoots;0)

'Marmalade'...my fav too....:>)

Very nice,Carole..I hope they do well for you..a lovely gift from Shirley :o)

Oh, that's great because I have Heucherella 'Sweet Tea' and 'Blackberry Jam' cuttings here for you....just waiting for them to take root and get going! :))

Lovely - so nice to receive plants - I dare not split mine are they easy to take off the parent plant, I am scared in case I lose them. lol. I do not want to damage them. lol I am a scaredy cat when it comes to doing things like that. But I watched Monty Don planting up some cuttings of Delphiniums and when the rabbit knocked down my lovely plants and broke pieces off I stuck them into some compost and I think they might be growing so I am getting a little braver. Also chopped my Ribes (the white one) it was a bit uneven and I took heel cuttings and put them into compost so I am definitely getting braver. lol. Please let me know someone how I take my Heuchera cuttings or split them up.

It's not totally easy mum as they all come off one main stem. You have to do a sort of a root cutting and that's always a bit 'hairy' isn't it. I took a lump off the side of each of my blackcurrant jams and they are fine now.

Thanks Motinot, I think Marmalade is going to be one of my favourites to!
Thanks Sandra I am sure they will do very well, perking up already today ;0)
Aww Thanks Karen, thats very kind of you;0) will look forward to them, Mmm Blackberry Jam let me know when and I will have the scones ready and waiting LOL

Thanks Olive I watched the Monty Don programme too and was out in the garden afterwards taking cuttings of everything in sight ;0)

He inspires me so much. I love him and his dog. lol.

Me too!! Was quite put out last night no Gardners World!not so keen on Mr Titmarsh though lol

I like Alan too, but apparently he is only very short so I think I might tower above him. lol. I like his little stories he writes for the G W magazine he makes me laugh. I was at my daughters waiting for a delivery the other day and was watching her tv (sky) and there was an old gardening programme on with him, Charlie and Tommy it was funny seeing them so young looking.

your a lucky girl also
