Turn out the pots time! But I'm envious of the description of lotv
'running about'! I got so paranoid about not succeeding with it that I
asked someone else to plant it for me. Still no success. My former mil
had it in tons in her garden in Jersey - I couldn't grow it at all -
she gave me some of the pink one long before anyone had it for sale. It
never reappeared for me. The friend who has it all over the gravel
lives about 10 minutes away from us. I'm almost resigned to the fact
that I'm never going to be able to grow one of my favourite flowers.



Don't worry, I can't grow Lily of the Valley either, tried two or three
times and it just disappears. My Gran had lots of it covering her
garden but it won't grow for me.


Well, if YOU can't...! Thanks, Bob, that does make me feel a bit better!
