So Glad I Did

I bought 5 Pimula Denticulata "Alba" yesterday to go near my pond. But on seeing the new growth on yours I'm wondering if I hadn't already grown one from seed last year.

Iv'e got a primula growing near my greenhouse that I grew from seed. it didnt flower last year to small, but it looks very similair to yours. I did have some seeds from the RHS last year but, I always manage to grow things with out labels as I beleive I will remember where or what they are.

Lesson learnt I think.

This year use labels, and keep my fingers crossed for the unexpected plant.

Enjoy the sherry.

I have five of these in a group and this is just one. They are quite big, maybe 6" across for each one, they make good growth early, flower for a long time and then the cabbage like leaves stay for ages until they go slimy and horrible. Well worth putting up with ... the flowers are fab.
Mine flower in a lovely purple colour... I presume yours will be white?

Hi Sal, you have worked well. You have earned your sherrry. I like your pink plastic garden basket, I have got a lovely yellow one, they are very useful!

Thanks Marge... They are great, aren't they. I have green, purple, lime and pink... all different sizes for different jobs.... so easy to cart around!

You and your hubby earned that sherry Sal ,a job well done :o) have another !

A great job done. I hope we get the weather to do a lot more this year.
Happy gardening Sal :o)

A well deserved drink after all that work !

Cheers, Sal and Chris! You did earn that drink! I love reading blogs like this, makes me want to go right out and get stuck in (too late for today now, though, maybe tomorrow?)

Good for you Sal! You're an inspiration!

Well done to you both, well deserved glass of wine!

Well done,its a grand feeling after doing a job like that,I also have Denticulata in my garden beautiful blue when in flower one of my favourites .i have white on my must buy list...........

Well done for doing all that hard work yesterday, going on about the garden baskets i have one in green & find it so usefull for so many jobs, keep saying i'm going to get another, but then i thing i can only carry one of them at a time, so i never get round to getting any more.

Garden basket? H-m-m-m! I have a garden wagon that I use for everything. I wonder if we use them in the same way? Toting potted plants from one place to another....hauling garden tools? Well, anyway...I truly enjoyed walking around the garden with you...we must do it again when everything is in bloom....

You did a good day's work there.
Earned your sherry :o)

loved reading this Sal, what a strange colour that root is! - do you know why? and yes well deserved beverage. - A good start to the new year!

well done for braving the cold...i cant believe things are budding already with the frost still about...

No idea why that root was so yellow... we were quite amazed by it... hmm nature is a wonderful thing, yes?

What a lovely blog Sal and what lovely photos.....you certainly earned that BIG sherry he he he

Well done Sal. You are lucky you can get out there to do some gardening. I'm months away from being able to do that yet. About the best I can do is go and shovel snow off the driveway (again). :o(
I am amazed at the colour of those stems on the berberris. It would almost be worth stripping it and leaving the stems behind. LOL.
Hope you enjoyed your sherry. You certainly earned it.

Good on you.....nothing like a gardening to lift your spirits......in more ways than one...lol

I am with Gilli...At least you have the option Sal!
But the down time from the garden allows time to think, dream, and try to remember what spring/summer was like.
I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder......

Cheers, I never thought about having a sherry, but maybe it would just make me want another and then another and then aahhh the gardening would never get done, well done on all the hard work, it does make you feel good, loved the tour, keep up the good work and enjoying the refreshments best wishes to you for the new year.

Ha ha, the sherry made it all worthwhile... no point having one until all the work is done or it would never get done.

Great blog Sal, enjoyed reading it made me want to get out into my garden hopefully tomorrow! must get off my backside and do some work!!!! :)
