Mine’s nearly ready to start harvesting     . How’s yours doing?

   

Cobbled a temporary coldframe together today.

Cardboard, pallet collar, 4 GH panes, a brick, and some scaffold netting. The netting is just for overnight, not sure if it will help.

The glass will need another clean.

       

You’ve told me the name of this before. I’m sorry but I’ve forgotten   .
I know it a bit early in the season as well, but hopefully someone will know it’s name.

I know it gets to about 3ft tall and has the same colour flowers as it’s leaves. The flower head is made up of lots of little flowers.

               

I’m in the process of digging lots of it up and was going to offer it on my local plant exchange fb group.  need a name before I do that. I’d much rather ask you lot. More experienced ID providers here   .

my son made me a few new raised beds, I hope I can load the photos.

               

Not sure where this should be posted,  feel free to move as required
How do you sterilise soil that you may be using in seed sowing or in baskets, I spread some soil over the top of a tin sheet then used a weed wand to try to clean it up a bit, but doubt if it's hot enough to do any good, so wondering how I could do it better

Only daughter is hoping that her wedding on June 26th won’t be cancelled, and wanting good old Mum to provide :-
. bouquets for herself and three bridesmaids, 
buttonholes for six chaps, 
posies for the tables 
and larger displays for church and venue.
I must have had a bottle of wine or two before saying “OK”.
Colour theme is pink/mauve/white.
I should be ok for table posies because I got my sweet peas planted out yesterday(protected by old double glazing panels).
Going to team those with thlaspi green bells which have also been planted out this morning.
Hoping to have plenty of pink and white hydrangeas - will those be in full flow by end of June?
Any other suggestions gratefully received!

My chillies from the seed circle germinated pretty well - from a mid January sowing. (Thank you all) 
However many of them have now “keeled over”.
Too much water? Too cold? Too much bright sunshine through spare room window? 
I don’t know.
Anyway - is it too late to try again?

Checked on my seedlings
The quaking grass from seed circle has germinated fantastically.
Thank you VC.
My only daughter is getting married at the end of June (fingers crossed) and I have “volunteered” or been press ganged into doing the flowers. Eeeeek!
The quaking grass will turn any old bunch into something pretty special (according to Sarah Raven).
Hope so.
Going to start anew topic so that I can get loads of advice from you all on what I should be doing.

Not that exciting but you do see our bins and front door

Plus the canal where I stomp.

Just curious if you use pet names with your partners....and you thought I meant dogs and cats (or Ferrets in the case of SC)

My wife calls me Pud.... cant think why
In return I call her Twinkle...because she has never been the brightest
