    As I seen to have a couple of seeds that are proving somewhat germination shy I will have a final attempt using the baggie method. I think what proved hindering was the temperature changes of the last few weeks....so here goes. If not then I will admit defeat as why struggle with problem makers!!:biggrin:

      My good lady moved the Hyacinth that had gone over and put them in a shallow planter for next year. The baskets they were in are now drying in the garage. We had a wander around my bit of the garden deciding where I can squeeze more plants in. I am expecting three Echinacea this afternoon so once they arrive we will get them planted out. Overnight temperatures are staying above 7C at the moment.

        Lifted the covers off from over the Dahlias that were left in the ground. Started to weed and tidy up the border by the gate, then the rain started, only lasted about 30 mins and it's back to being sunny now.:):blue thumb:

          Once the rain stopped I continued with the weeding and tidying of the border by the gate and the one running along the kichen patio. Also took some Heuchera cuttings too.

                          The three Echinacea "Green Twister" I was waiting on arrived just before tea time so I went out this evening and planted them up. It has been a glorious day here.

                            Spent the afternoon repotting succulents, mostly Echiverias they seem to out grow their pots quickly and its difficult to throw away some of the offsets but some types make far too many once they get established.
