Most of them are in here Cambourne;  http://tinyurl.com/yn57zu

Trace them from the alphabetical index.

Can I suggest you list them on a data base (thats what I do with my list) then get the dates, temps and germination times from my website.

Once it is collated I just do a filter asking thing such as ;

list them by sowing date,

list by heat required

Heat not required

any special requirements.

If you have any problems get back to me.

Hi
what a long list of brilliant stuff.

i just have tips for two
first the morning glorys... they really dont like cool weather and if the temp drops to 10 c or below the leaves go white and drop so leave them as late as you can, its usually okay april time and they really romp away once theyve germinated. second is the zinnias again these really dont like it cool and dont like any root disturbance so its worth leaving it late and planting them in situ once the frosts have gone.

what a lovely show you are going to have!

OMG, how on earth are you going to have time - or space- for all those?! I'd be tempted to choose a few and save the rest for next year, and the year after and... ;)

thanks guys,

I have relandscaped my back garden and front garden well all the hard landscaping has been done ( mosly ) now i just need to plant it up.

Front garden has been covered in weed membrane and covered in gravel 1/3 has been filled with ericacious soil and has has an azalia and a rododendrom in. I have a large pot plant with a standard smoke bush and some bulbs.
The other 2/3 has a climbing rose over a bambo frame and some heathers seperating our fron garden from next door.

I want to plant a lavander border to keep the gravel in.

Back garden has been split into 3 equal sections the middle section has decking and pergola.

Front 1/3 closer to house is grass with camelias and tree peonys planted along with an asian pear.
the last 1/3 has raised bed that surounds the area and has been planted with flax, bush peonys, ginger, another apple tree and the centre of the bordered area will be planted on top of membrane and sown with camomile ( second attempt at a camomile lawn ) the plants at this side only need to be late spring, summer and early winter flowerering. As that part of the garden is ambandonded as the weather gets poor.

i am going to work out what i sow when and see what i can fit in. Willing to give most things a go the borders at the back are 3 ft deep so i can fit loads in...

and of course any extras will not go to waste on this site :-)
