My wife is constantly washing up. 6 times now…

I'll have to attach more weights!

@FlowerdewBob Would grafting with a tomato rootstock help?

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin I would definitely grow it again if it grew for me like it is growing for your friend. Always started off really well and then got infested with aphids for me

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin It's the congo cockatoo. Impatiens niamniamensis.I used to have it years ago. Got from dibleys nursery. Very very prone to pest attack

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin Yes it's nicotiana sylvestris. I've grown it from seed many times. Thompson and Morgan sell it. Very easy and stunning plant with beautiful scent

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin Yes sisyrinchium. Often find it in the grass section of some garden centres when not in flower.

@hortweek @HTAnews @BPOA_homegrown @DefraGovUK @lettucealone I remember Geoff Hamilton and Peter Seabrook debating peat use over 25 years ago. Geoff was against peat use. 25 plus years later enough time to have found a solution

@BearDublin @dibleys I've purchased plants from them before brexit. Brilliant nursery.

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin That is usually caused by underwatering

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@Mr_Tasker Lol

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin That has happened to me a couple of times . Plants were obviously dead every time. So annoying.

@BallymakennyF looking for red and blue potatoes but says red sold out. Any chance you have some?

@BallymakennyF looking for red and blue potatoes but it says red are sold out. Any chance you have any?

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin That's hilarious

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@FlowerdewBob I have heard you mention pink brandywine as being miffy many times over the years and I was wondering would grafting make any difference? I have grafted other toms onto rootstock for fun but haven't tried that

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@BearDublin It's not a Sweet William but it is a carnation alright

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@PlantBotherer If it's bedding plants that you want almost any bedding plant will grow in those conditions as long as you keep them well watered. Blocks of one kind and one colour stand out

[sean boylan @sbsb63]

@TropicalBritain Yes I grow this outside in Dublin. Beautiful but small flowers. If planted in something tall you can look up into flowers

@KatieBu38466827 @ParcelMotel I'm having the same problem and I use parcel motel for plants. I have always recommended parcel motel for buying plants but will have to consider other options if this continues
