Another ID please (Euphorbia)
Posted by: Small chilli - 19-03-2021, 04:41 PM - Replies (5)

You’ve told me the name of this before. I’m sorry but I’ve forgotten  Blush .
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  Cool .

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

  Flowers for an end of June wedding
Posted by: Farendwoman - 18-03-2021, 04:02 PM - Replies (7)

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!

  Too late to try again ?????
Posted by: Farendwoman - 18-03-2021, 03:52 PM - Replies (1)

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?

  Quaking Grass
Posted by: Farendwoman - 18-03-2021, 03:48 PM - Replies (3)

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.

  If you had a second chance?
Posted by: PyreneesPlot - 15-03-2021, 08:59 PM - Replies (29)

Following on from the Ology thread, if you had your time over, what would you do instead?

Having had three careers (archaeologist, chef and bookshop manager, then early retiree) I know I lack stickability, but looking back I'm happy with my choices and always chose a path that lead to daily satisfaction rather than material wealth, although we're paying the price for that now! 

I wonder how many of us made the right choice at 16, 18, 21 or even 50?
