Hubby's uncle has grown some new ones this year including a stunning deep red.<br /><br />I've never grown Chrysanthemums myself, Green Lane Allotments. Mind you, I don't really need to when I have a constant supply anyway.<br /><br />Thanks, fer. I managed a trip to the allotment at the weekend so I can't complain about the weather.<br /><br />It's funny how the fashions come and go, Flighty. It's not so long ago that Dahlias were deemed old fashioned but they're back in favour again.<br /><br />You're right about the variety and colours, Bears Footprints. There's a Chrysanth to suit most tastes.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing how you do with them if you do give them a go, Damo. Your Dahlias this year have been stunning.<br /><br />It's lovely to have fresh flowers in the house, Jeanne. I don't like cutting flowers from the garden for the house, I much prefer to see them out there, but it's different on an allotment, flowers can be grown specifically for cutting. Hope you get your strawberries sorted out soon, I've started on mine.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-43184421571102227982010-11-01T16:26:54.691+00:002010-11-01T16:26:54.691+00:00Lucky you Jo - to be kept in flowers by hubby'...Lucky you Jo - to be kept in flowers by hubby's uncle - especially this time of year.
