I seem to remember some old dude putting paper bags over his years and years ago, and I'm SURE thats what he said.. Forgive my daft question, but I know nothing of growing flowers for shows! _________________ 'I say old chap, do you mind? Remember, we're British!'

Only problem with bags is if you lock a pest in the bag when you put it on _________________ minx Back to top Jim Joined: 10 Feb 2007 Posts: 1105 Location: In the country Posted: Mon Oct 26, 2009 4:04 pm    Post subject: Beautiful     _________________ Theres nothing more pleasing than a happy little hive Back to top Digindeep Joined: 27 Nov 2008 Posts: 1106 Location: Staffordshire Posted: Wed Oct 28, 2009 5:20 pm    Post subject: Jim ....they are truely beautiful....won't show you my poor specimens...even though one or two neighbors and visitors have commented ...£1.99 for 6 from Morr .........   sons   They look good..but nay a patch on yours...     _________________ Born with nothing, Haven't spent it all yet!
