So, we're half way through the term already. My, but that has flown, hasn't it?
This week our plants of the week were Tulips from Tracy, Forsythia from John, and on Tuesday, Margaret bravely took on both Paeonia rockii and Fritillaria meleagris.
Images are here:
Tulips, Paeonia rockii, and Fritillaria meleagris
We had Forsythia last week, from Joan on Tuesday, and so images will be a little further back in the album.
Our main topic was our seed sowing experiment, and so the Sites of the Week mirrored that. Here's the handout:
( Sites of the Week )
Our main topic, the seed experiment, will be something we keep coming back to, but here is the list of seeds that someone, somewhere is trying!
Agastache Sunset Yellow
Antirrhinum Madame Butterfly
Auricula
Campanula punctata Beetroot
Doronicum caucasicum magnificum
Erysimum Little Kiss Lilac
Hollyhock Chater’s Double
Iberis Snowflake
Lavender Munstead
Lupin Gallery mixed
Papaver orientale
Pyrethrum King
Primula pulverulenta
Helenium autumnale Rotgold
Achillea clytopetala
Linaria purpurea Canon Went
Verbascum chaixii album
Potentilla nepalensis Roxanna
Thalictrum rochebrunianum
Fibigia clypeata
Alcea rosea nigra
Thermopsis lanceolata
Aster ericoides
Kniphofia triangularis
Papaver orientale Beauty of Livermere
Hesperis matronalis
Delphinium belladonna Cliveden Beauty
Teucrium hircanicum Purple Tails
Veronica gentianoides
The seeds are old-fashioned perennials which should be relatively easy to germinate. The experiment will last through into next term, and everyone participating has two different sorts to try. Please remember that you're growing them for the whole group and, if possible, for both groups.
Good luck!
