Let the season begin!  ;D ;D ;D

Edit by Maggi: Though John made this post on the last day of 2010, I think it is more cheering to have these photos as the start of a new thread for 2011  :D

First leaves up in my pots of 2010 snowdrop chips. Over 100 pots X an average of say 20 chips per pot = where the hell am I going to grow them all? Quite a lot of leaves up in the 2010 seed pots too. Same story there. Maybe fewer pots but more seedlings to a pot, so same long-term quandary. Why do I do it?

Retire on the proceeds?  ;D

Retire? What's that? I'll never be able to afford to retire. I'll be working till I drop (no pun intended).

A lovely selection, John, and so very clean - a benefit of being grown under cover.

The aberrant 'Richard Ayres' has an interesting and attractive marking.

Tidying dead stems in the garden today I see many snowdrops are pushing up fast. We've had the warmest week since before November. No need for a fleece. My Three Ships is finally showing a flower

John, stop posting lovely snowdrop pictures at once!  You have got me wondering what I may have starting to flower at home when I should be enjoying Madeira!




(p.s.  thank you really  ;D)

John,

I was going to tease you yesterday and say all your snowdrops were blooming while you were away but it seems the thought strayed into your mind of its own accord.

Mark, by coincidence, G. 'Three Ships' is showing here also. Not enough sun to open the flowers but it will come, I hope. G. 'Peter Gatehouse' which came up in early November has only opened its flowers in the last week or so. The cold weather obviously suspended its development

My Peter Gatehouse has only just come up.

With lots of white starting to show I put slug pellets out yesterday to stop damage. Pity the -13 didnt wipe out slugs. They must have antifreeze in their blood

John, I doubt you're missing anything much. All the snowdrops seem to be have been held right back by the cold. All I have is a few buds on Faringdon Double.

It will becoming a good season, sorry, a good spring season and I hope a good autumn season too.

Hello JohnW.
There is a little mistake in your collection. Have a look to GREEN PEACE!?!
Thank you for the other drops. They give a lot of confidence.
