This Spring I planted lots of seeds gathered in the Autumn from our
Virginia creeper. I only thought a few would germinate so planted hundreds
in a couple of seed trays. Similar with Rosa Rugosa pips and some seeds
donated by our neighbour from one of his shrubs - I don't know what it is
called but the seed pods were very much like those on laburnum.

Yesterday I pricked out and potted 87 Rosa Rugosa seedlings which will
eventually make a nice hedge but 103 Virginia creepers have got me
pondering. I can probably use half a dozen around our old stone barn, but
it looks like all visitors will be given a gift of one whether they like
them or not! As for the 60 or so shrubs, I don't even know what they are
called but look like ending up with a new shrubbery.

Does anyone else get carried away planting seeds? I haven't the heart to
let the seedlings die.

Yes. I still have some tomato seedlings and no room for planting them -
after giving lots away.

Then there are the pine treeling grown from the seeds from a cone from
daughter's farm. I thought she might like some more but she said I must be
joking!
