Many thanks Nigel -looked it up following your reply. Yes that looks correct. Regards, Martyn

Well yes if I'm right that is I've got a trailing type of osteospermum but it's different to that one.

Oh good as I have thought Quinoa as mine germinated..

Thank you so much. I've been so worried, you've put my mind at rest. Yes I will get some Epsom salts tomorrow. Your a star.

Oriental poppy - you should be seeing a flower bud forming very soon

that's brilliant

They smell like 2nd hand incontinence pads Very easily dug out, hoed down or pulled out especially in loose soil but the seeds seem to linger forever. Once you've got them, you've got them for a long time; not a major invader, just a long-time inconvenience but a beautiful one nevertheless

Should have been 1st April!

No idea, other than ... it's a corker! What a lovely "inheritance"

Well, it took about 4 hours to dig it all out and another 4 hours to install all the fences and posts! I'm glad it's all over, back breaker!

Hmm strange isnt it!

Now you mention it I think I have a leucanthemum somewhere growing from last year, kind of white flowered daisy, not my usual kind of plant but it was cheap and cheerful .

He's now replied saying it does smell of onion. Thanks everyone

Mine does seem to be behind the usual ones around the town, can't wait for the flower to open now

I've no idea what it is but it looks gorgeous

Yep, looks exactly like my sumac (we call it stags antler) its common for them to send out runners which pop up all over the place, they can be dug up & repotted, try to take as much root as you can as they dont always take, sadly Be careful of the sap it can be an irritant

oh a tulip? thanks redstar.

Excellent point by @Silver surfer Didn't even occur to me to mention it Although it's vigorous it forms a mass of colour and can be kept under control.

thank you both will see if i can grab some more for the other border its looking a bit bare............
