[elvis2003]

i wouldnt be without our flowers..sweet peas,sweet william,foxgloves,gladis,sunflowers,aubretia,cornflowers,stock,dahlia,rudbekia,dogrose amongst others.besides anything else i enjoy them cos they not planted in straight neat lines,like most of the veg are,so gives the plot a nicer feel

I'm not really a flower person, but I have some marigolds on the go, someone on the plot gave me some eggplant which I stuck in and my littleun has put in Sunfowers and a few lines of a mixture called butterfly and bee flowers.   8)

Men don't seem to like flowers on allotments, but just think of all the money you can save, by growing them and giving them to your wife/girlfriend.  I have a lovely bunch of daffodils that I grew, and can't wait for the sweet peas.  My flowers seem to grow better than my veg.

I just can not do house plants so love plenty of fresh flowers I aim to grow plenty starting with daffs and finishing with dahlias in the Autumn -and the alstroemerias  easily cover the plot rent alone.

marigolds everywhere, some Glads for the house, evening primrose for the late pollen

[pumkinlover]
