I still have to try out painting on yarns/fibres with them though...<br />don't know how the honey and gojiberries would fare in your summer warmth, but at least both are frost hardy!<br /><br />Nina - I didn't know that you can get seeds for self-fertile kiwis! might be worth a try? the gojis were difficult from seeds. I bought the berries from a wholefood shop, they germinated in masses - and then died off just as quickly as soon as I pricked them out:( which seems to be a common enough problem... not sure about the apricot though - they need warmth and our summers are just not good enough for them. and they flower early - when it's still cold here...<br /><br />Judy - don't I know it, I need to get the rest of my strawbs into the soil pronto, but it's been one shower after the next:( good luck with yours - and thanks for the good wishes:)Woolly Bitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961632742998726155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-26674801868295467242012-04-20T07:52:08.859-07:002012-04-20T07:52:08.859-07:00What lovely soft colors you've created!

I've heard of the self pollinating Kiwis, but usually they have to be ordered from specialty seed companies rather than purchased from nurseries. I think that is due to our harsher climate. I'd like an apricot tree if I could. This year I'm after a few new raspberry canes, another blueberry bush and another blackberry plant. They won't be in the garden centres for another month though, as it is still too cold,with frosts here.Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049476969325691637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-85162497713673616582012-04-19T16:54:21.910-07:002012-04-19T16:54:21.910-07:00Alfalfa huh?

Sehr verlockend, aber streng verboten...<br /><br />Habt ihr eigentlich Giersch auf der Insel? Der hat fiese lange unterirdische Tentakel, die man alle sorgfältig ausbuddeln muss, damit der Giersch nicht sofort wieder sprießt. Ich bin sicher: Sysiphos musste keinen Stein rollen, sondern ein Beet mit GIERSCH jäten! Oder war es doch bügeln??? Meine Wochenendbeschäftigungen sind jedenfalls gesichert ;-)Sprottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04263326986158961807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698697238692601738.post-54498688224119013802012-04-19T07:04:38.743-07:002012-04-19T07:04:38.743-07:00Excellent haul on the newly dyed fiber-just so pre...Excellent haul on the newly dyed fiber-just so pretty!
