I never knew that was the reason for the name - thank you! We get a lot in
the hedgerows here but I admit that without leaf and scale, I couldn't
recognise it. But it's not in flower now, surely? (Going out to have a
scout round!)

tin-hat

Certainly is. I have some in a planter, with violence and toad flack...

Des!!! *We don't see enough of you in here recently, how's your

Ah, that reminds me, I think you sent me some ramsons a while back - I
can report that they like it here...

Many thanks again.

I grew your chillis for a few years (Jalapenos or Habeneros; cannot
remember); you sent me seed.
They were good.

Would you have any objection if a couple of us came to the nursery and took
some shots someday? We would spend something of course!!

Please do. People often come to take photographs or come here in groups to
paint. It would be lovely to see you so drop us a line at the Nursery
email address and let me know when you're coming. We'll look forward to
seeing you so I don't want to be out when you get here!

I don't know if you remember me, but you sent me some back in 04/05 and I
had some excellent crops year after year, however after my mother died and I
had to move house, I lost the dried seeds I'd been saving, although I did
keep a large bag of frozen ones, some of which I still have, but I've tried
umpteen times these past 3 weeks to germinate from the pre frozen ones
without success.

I know it's bare faced cheekery, but is there any possibility of me cadging
a few please? - I'll send you some stamps and an SAE to cover your costs?


TIA

I'll send you some - no need for sae.

Might be able to find some seeds of longer, milder chillis too.

Hi cupra, another refugee from the weather group? I think it's a white
campion, myself. Is that the same as cerastium?


I'm not sure what it is, but it's not a white campion. It looks like
something from the chickweed family to me.


Mouseear is Cerastium spp, White Campion is Silene latifolia; both belong
to Caryophyllaceae (is that what you mean by chickweed family).

No. I mean that White Campion is nothing like it. It's an upright plant
and the chickweeds creep.

Thanks also, for the nice offer Rusty!! I am giving up on chillis for
now. Every year I try them and do them too late and they hardly get
going before it is Autumn. I am already 6 weeks late this year. I
should get them started in Feb, indoors and into greenhouse in April
or something like that. This year, I am just going to do tomatoes. I
have my eye on some Black Russian (cannot remember variety) among
others.

Doesn't Prince Charles grow those as well as black sprouts?
seriously, I'm sure I read that somewhere.
