Slow

Hi LoL. I think you must be right about Photobucket. It never occured to me that they could be responsible for that problem.

I am glad to hear the Salvias are doing well. I am trialing some interesting new ones - will let you know how they go. I am very proud of my Salvia coccinea, which I sowed in my lightbos in mid November. It is now flowering - still inside the lightbox. It is a bit cruel though.

 

I grew coccinea for a few years Peter.
A very luminous red as I recall, might give it a go again sometime, along with the blue farinacea victoria something or other.
Another one I grew was clevelandii, not particually showy but the scent of the leaves was very unusual, I think more of a greenhouse plant though.

 

Back to normal speed this morning.

 

I think all your computers have been coming out in sympathy with mine as I had loads of trouble with mine for two weeks,so much so I was going to be a Grumpy Young Lady and throw it in the bin :D Mr Kandy changed the Belkin card and got rid of two programmes and it worked until this forum started running slow :rolleyes:

It is ok this morning thankfully, so whatever has been done has put it right

 

Pete - Salvia farinacea is lovely - but I would reccomend Salvia 'Mystic Spires' instead. Its a S. farinacea x S. longispata hybrid. I looks quite similar, but in my opinion is a much more robust plant and very long flowering. I couldn't get farinacea to overwinter in my shed (it is a perennial) but I have no problem with Mystic Spires, which may well be totally hardy (though I overwintered mine). Local garden centres have been selling it amongst the small plugs. Very easy to take cuttings too.

Sorry Shiney and others - a bit off topic. Yes the problems seem to have gone away.
