Me also, very popular with our visitors too....

I spotted some stripy ones at Hampton Court - people were buying them, too. I didn't, because the price for a few stems was exorbitant, when you can buy bulbs and grow your own much more cheaply.

mine are also in flower they are a gorgeous colour aren't they? Last well in a vase too.

You mean you actually pick them?????

15 Jul, 2013

 

yes dont you???? I have several clumps and I take a stem or two from each clump. I grew them specifically for cutting.

No, I only ever pick sweetpeas...I like to see my flowers in the garden. Odd, aren't I! ;-)

try one sprig with the sweet peas, go one you wont miss one stem and the blue is so clear. I have them in a vase with red and white s.peas

Nope. No chance! Your vase sounds very patriotic! ;-)

Spritz you are not odd, we only ever pick sweet peas and occasionally dianthus, OH does not like me picking the flowers....

Lost all mine over the winter?? First time ever, but I suspect the squirrels may be to blame as in their place I have hazelnuts springing up like mad!

How annoying. At least they're not very expensive to replace.

Do you know anyone who wants a hazel hedge? You could pot 'em up and sell them! :-D)

"Do you know anyone who wants a hazel hedge? "

Forest more like - they're everywhere! The nearest hazel is two gardens down..............

We used to have the same problem with squirrels when we lived in Kent, with huge oak trees in the garden. I was always pulling up little baby oak trees! I sympathise.
