There are 41 Canterbury Bell plants sitting in my greenhouse. Over the last year or two I have lost many of the biennials planted out in the autumn, so this winter I decided to keep them back and plant them out in Spring. So, I have 41 Canterbury Bells sitting there amongst the spiders' webs, desperate to get out and plunge their roots into something roomier and a bit more encouraging. 41 Canterbury Bells - oh, and 38 Wallflowers, 15 Sweet Williams, 35 Foxgloves and 20 Antirrhinums, not to mention the Perennials - 3 Anthemis, 15 Delphiniums, 16 assorted Pinks, dozens of Penstemons, a couple of Echinaceas, 14 Hollyhocks, 7 Lavender, 2 Rosemarys, 3 Sages, and a large number of cuttings the labels of which have either come out or been washed off.
There are also the dahlias waiting to be boxed up for sprouting, and all the annuals waiting to be sown. I've done the Sweetpeas, but everything else is still waiting. THERE IS NO ROOM in my little greenhouse and in the garden, IT IS MUCH TOO COLD.
