    :yikes: Been a busy hector for the past :th scifD36: not sure. Well since I was on last.
    Seems the plant fairies have been delivering lots of new little ones to me.:hapfeet:
    Best of all, yes I know not to boast, J Arthur Bower's multipurpose compost has been the best yet for full of the right muck and magic to grow stuff with.:dbgrtmb:
    We now have Lobelia cascade mixed, and Crystal Palace too.
    Loads of Fuchsias, and I think to many to name at the moment.
    Loads of Strawberries for those little ones to munch on:grphg:
    A selection of Toms for those wee ones to those a bit bigger. None of the beefsteak type as OH does not do a tom like me.
    Just wanted to pop in to say hey and hope all are doing ok.
    I am feeling much better now things are better mentally thanks.

      @landimad Don't think we've ever chatted before but welcome back! Any friend of the plant fairies is a friend of mine, mate! :biggrin: Lovely intense-coloured fuchsia in your avatar image, is it one of yours?

          It's an exciting(and busy) time of year, when you see stuff you've sown bursting forth.
          Love all different tomatoes, so much sweeter when you grow your own but can't stand the smell of strawberries.
          Love the lobelia cascade....crystal palace?....not so much!:nonofinger:

              Thanks, might grow that one in a hanging basket to complement my similar-looking 'Mrs Popple', which is in a pot on my patio. :blue thumb:
