P was looking at aquifer levels (as I'm sure you all do on a Saturday morning  ) and he came across the word oolite. Now isn't that a fine scrabble word when you've got too many 'o's.  I had never come across it before, but will I remember it when I next play scrabble? Probably not.

Happy Birthday to you. 

I've had a bit if a disaster with my snapdragons. So i'll start some more asap, and maybe some larkspur and definitely chillies.

Go on, inspire me.....


.....also looking at the best time to sow eucalyptus- would like an early start and I also have hibiscus mahogany splendour for my something new  If i can get some going in pots I could keep on my patio ( even though i hate plants in pots!) and they should give me some late autumn foliage that looks a little special.

I haven't grown many the last couple of years.... kids not about so much and the the OH cant tolerate them anymore.

So I want to grow some for Christmas Decorations/wreaths etc next year.

So Im looking for a fast growing/prolific cropper that drys well  .... would cayenne be your choice?

What are you sowing and when?

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year.

Yes, you've guessed - I'm rummaging in my seed library again. 

There have been very few mentions of celery on G&G so I've decided to put this right! I'm guessing that celery is one of those Love it or Loathe vegetables - I'm probably more of a Loather which is why I have several packets of seeds. 

Apparently, the Celery family (Apiacae) can be split into 3  - those grown for stalks, leaves or roots.
Stalks - Monterey, Green Utah, Golden Self Blanching
Leaves - Par-cel, Celery leaf
Roots - Celeriac - Monarch, Asterix F1

Any celery experiences you'd care to share?
