Yesterday I spoke to Helen and Tim. They don't pinch out the first flowers! But they do continuously collect and propagate from seed to keep their plants in good supply. Tim offered me more seedlings-it will save him potting them up he said-what a kind man. Mystery solved for those of you with the blue poppies! By the way Im thinking of doing a garden visit to Tim and Helen the last week in May if anyone is interested?
I'd love to come to their garden again, if I can so keep me posted!
ReplyDeleteEliza it looks like we will be going on Wednesday May 30th early-we will hopefully be there around 10am. A week before I will ring Helen with numbers so let me know! you are most welcome!! I would love to have you. We will be going on to Eileens afterwards which you are very welcome to too. I will pass on this info to everyone including Heather and Miriam. x
ReplyDeleteBy the way are you coming to Helen Dillons garden? the Limerick garden plants group are going on sunday July 22, organising a bus with a trip to Helen Dillon's garden and the botanic gardens for 35 euros.Her place is supposed to be fantastic-I'm so excited!!!
ReplyDeleteMarie, May 30 looks good i think....can i let you know the week before? I'd probably only do Knockpatrick as would have to get back for 3 pm. And the other sounds tempting.....I have been to Helen Dillon's garden, about 10 years ago and it was absolutely fantastic. Full of wonderful flowers and plants......i will keep that trip in mind as would love to see both places again. Thanks for letting me know.
ReplyDeleteOf course let me know then! Great Eliza!
DeleteEliza we are meeting tomorrow morning in Shanagolden at 10am and going to knockpatrick from there, lunch at Eileens and a little visit to her for the afternoon. Let me know if your interested/available, presume chained to the desk still writing?
