there are just so many out in the garden, I have been cutting the dead ones down and thought someone might like a few seeds....orange and yellow,

Rose xx

er

do we have to pick them up

Oh yes please.

I've managed to collect a few thousand buzy lizzie seeds so if you or anyone want any let me know your address by pm and I'll post them to you.

Just got another bag full which my elderly peeps daughter picked this morning. She has enough for her needs so kept picking the pods for me to give to my other peeps.

We all call it friendship gardens. Quite a lovely thought.

Can I have some please Rose .

I grew a lovely lot of them on our allotment last year but " he who must be obeyed " couldn't wait to let them go to seed .....tut .

I'll pm you my address : ))

I wrote this when Dan was little, lol

Marigolds...

Little boy Daniel loved orange and yellow
they made him feel funny and sunny and mellow.
His mummy said "Dan,I can see we'll have fun
with your penchant for colours as bright as the sun.
Though now it is cold and the sky full of showers,
when summer is here you must have special flowers" .

And so from the flower beds
he pulled up the weeds,
and pressed into the earth some shrivelled brown seeds.
for week after week not a thing could be seen
no flowers of primrose or tangerine.
But after the wind and the snow and the showers,
came little green shoots and the buds of bright flowers.

Thus just as his mum in the winter foretold
soon Danny saw acres of lemon and gold.
And when summer came he sat ,lucky fellow
surrounded by marigolds orange and yellow!

Will do Amanda :))

Stella , the slugs don't seem to have bothered much here...even the hostas were ok...not like back in Wales lol.

Lovely poem Rose .

I'll look forward to getting the seeds going in the spring . I'm sure my grand-daughter will be most interested in them ( especially as they are usually quick off themark and thus ideal for a child to grow ) .

Thank you : ))

Yes please, shall I send an sae - and would anyone like some hollyhock seeds?
Liz

Hi Liz, just PM me your address and will send them Monday :))

love your poem Rose, aren't you clever?

I don't have room to grow anything else sadly or I would ask for some seeds. Marigolds are great in a greenhouse in pots by the door, they discourage flies on tomatoes I think it is, and also I think you can grow them near roses and they stop the greenfly coming round.


Happy Gardening folks
Lizx

anyone else? :))

THANK YOU ROSE : )))

Thanks again ,
