I recently re-potted some Wendy's Gold that have wavy leaves but I would swear are perfectly healthy - I gave them a thorough inspection.  Some plicates have a tendency to do this.

I've not seen it for sale at events either, Mark. I know that it was in North Green's catalogue this season. I saw a lovely pot full of them at the Colesbourne study day last week. Hopefully Little Dorrit will be available next season as it really is a lovely plant.

Guys
Try Alan Street at Avon Bulbs. Incidentally some Little Dorrit plants were to be had at the Loughborough AGS Show today.

Thanks for the pointer, Steve. I am fortunate to grow both but I'm sure that those wanting Little Dorrit will appreciate the information.

Cheers,
David

Had a fairly productive day today......I have moved into the woodland area to make beds for the snowdrops  :)  The day had to come sooner or later especially with all the problems I have had this year.  Under deciduous trees in a natural woodland is where I am sure they would rather be.

I got in my garden helper and he sawed down a few dying trees to make log edges for the borders.  We mapped out the borders - three in total....so far.  I have plenty of topsoil stored from upside down turfs that have been stacked for 4 years or more.  When I left him to his own devices for an hour I came back and he had filled in the beds......over the top of loads of ivy  ???  He is not an experienced gardener (needless to say) but he is a good worker.  Now I have to get out about 30 barrow loads of soil and weed beneath the borders FIRST.  Oh dear.

I was wondering if it would be beneficial to lay Mypex over the ivy and tree roots....or do you think it would affect drainage?  Any ideas anyone?

I will mix leaf mould, garden compost and grit and perlite when planting.  Most will be moved from other parts of the garden, inspected, fungicided and planted in lattice baskets.  Work work work.  I really hope this turns out to be the answer for my snowdrop collection.  I will post some photos of the project tomorrow.  Ferns and my endless pots of Hellebore seedlings will be added as well.  Any advice gratefully accepted.........

thanks Jennie

Thank you, Brian  :D
I always hope for some yellow from 'Wendy's Gold' nearby, but at least it seems to have given the form of the big mark ...  :)

The find is nice looking.

Steve did you think of me at Loughborough? How much were they?

Mmm, I wonder what you mean Mark, I have looked back over several messages and have no idea, perhaps it's 'cause I'm tired?
