Steve J Would you describe how you grew and planted them, size etc. as it may be that you put them out too soon before their roots were properly developed. Regards, Emrys Davies. |

Thanks to Sacha and Emrys for replies, though I didn't expect any to be honest; I guess I posted in frustration, and perhaps with a heads up to the group that this issue might arise again this year. I bought the bedding plants at Wyevale, and bought the larger plants in the more expensive packs to make sure they developed quickly having left planting until early June. Despite the relative warmth and reular watering about half just rotted off - the rest I have recued by putting in fresh soil, and they are now thriving. The mistake I made I think, was planting them in the same soil/compost as last year, albeit with some Growmore to give them some food! I buy very few bedding plants these days with my borders turned over to perennials mainly with shrubs, and a cottage garden style in the main area. Impatiens are a good filler though most ywears whatever the weather, so I will persevere!! Steve. |
