I have so many flowers (petunia's) that I am barely coping at the moment, but thanks for the tip. I may come back to you though!

hmmm...ive loads of petunias too. My fuschias are very good this year too. My absolute favourites are 2 scented geraniums in pots outside my front door. They smell gorgeous from 20 feet away and are absolutely massive!! My neighbour has one to but hers is dinky lol..when she asked why mine were big i told her bout the tomato food so now she overdosing her plants on em lol!!!
I didnt tell her i use spray n grow too though!!

If its fine tomorrow i'll try to take some new photos of my baskets and garden...providing the wind doesnt demolish em lol!!

We don't have a garden Sweetpea! We just have tubs and hanging baskets.
I'm not into gardening but I enjoy looking at other peoples!

Well, I have had one for the last three years, but before that I had not had one since I was 9, so I am really enjoying it.

Oh me too. What a chore, and there's all that tidying around the edge when you are done. It's worth it though, when it looks all neat and tidy.

Your plants look lovely Ms Angry!the colours you have put together with each other compliment one another well. I have grown alllsorts in the past and love buying unusual seeds, the Daily Mail does good offers onplants too! I bought some Spanish tomato seeds in Spain and grown about 50 plants and like giving them away. I used to live in Devon and had a lovely cottage garden there , and the garden there has unusual plants that i grew from seed. I once bought aplant that was quite unusual! i bought it very cheaply (twenty pence) at Colne hospice shop it was only small when i got it and it grew so big about (seven feet)It was surprisingly bushy to o! I found out it was Angelica !if you have the room try and grow it!its unusual and sculptural!

lots of my stuff is from spain..i bought some seeds whilst there last year and my mum fetches me seeds from her garden in spain. Just about to transplant some spanish sweetpea perennials (seeds from mums garden), though whether they'll survive an english winter remains to be seen!

Whilst in Spain, in Dec i bought some palm tree seeds ,havent planted them yet and will have to keep them indoors as its to cold here!maybe try and turn them inti Bonsai ,s? I watch most garden programmes and been putting banannas on my roses this year ( They are full of potassium and seem to like this treatment) Also try and dead-head most flowers this really helps in stopping them making them flower again quicKly
