Impatiens tinctoria
Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:39:53 +0000
Is anyone else growing this outdoors? Autumn is definitely upon us but
somewhat to my surprise, ours is still flowering, if a bit sparsely. I
think I'm inclined to plant much bigger clumps of it next year! It's
in two different parts of the garden and if it can get through last
year, well........! Same go ...

lavender (pruning)
26 Oct 2009 18:56:16 GMT
I have a couple of lavender in big pots outside my front door, but they
haven't been watered as well as they probably should. They've been there
for 2 years and they didn't flower very well this year. (they don't get
an amazing amount of light, and I'm terrible for remembering to water,
and being by the front ...

poinsettia
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:36:03 +0000
Habitu¨¦(e)s of this venerable group may recall that I acquired a sprig
of poinsettia last Christmas which just kept on growing. I put it out
in a pot in the spring and it's just kept on growing in the garden.
It's now about a foot or so high and seems perfectly happy.
Should I bring it in again over winter? ...

How do I get Nerine to flower
Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:11:28 +0000
I planted some Nerine bowdeni around my young Judas Tree about 8 years
ago, about a foot from the trunk. I got the occasional flower in the
first couple of years, but for about 5 years none. The bulbs have
multiplied, so there are some clumps of them, probably about 20
individual bulbs now. There were plenty o ...

Turnips?
Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:08:33 +0100
We've had a nice crop of tasty little navet turnips this year. Spouse
asked me if I can plant any seed now ready for next Spring? As I
remember they don't take long to come up in the seed tray. Is it worth
while trying to get a few started over Autumn?
