Space is an issue in my garden too, but I seem to always be able to manage to squeeze things in if I really want them.

They are readily available, although in my garden they are rather slow to clump up, but that is probably down to where I've planted them, rather than them being difficult. They are beautiful things.<br />Roasted beetroot is definitely something I need to try, I think.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-8378858274925678412013-03-06T14:30:53.438+00:002013-03-06T14:30:53.438+00:00I have never seen a double Snowdrop, aren't th...I have never seen a double Snowdrop, aren't they gorgeous.<br /><br />Roasted Beetroot is so delicious, it concentrates the flavour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-58901624241306025242013-03-06T10:02:05.387+00:002013-03-06T10:02:05.387+00:00Dear Mirjam

I love snowdrops too (except I'm not that excited by the recent yellow varieties, even though they are highly regarded and sought after by galanthophiles).<br />Roasted beetroot sounds interesting too - one to try I think. Good luck with the blueberries and the seed growing. I am really looking forward to getting going.<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-8743160837647272262013-03-06T09:54:17.366+00:002013-03-06T09:54:17.366+00:00Dear Annie

I have planted my raspberry canes this afternoon (into a tub) and have bubble-wrapped the pot for insulation, so I hope they will survive and grow. I'll plant the beetroot later this month, along with all the other things I want to grow. I have a feeling that my seed sowing will last until April! The golden beetroot sounds fascinating - I shall have to investigate.<br />Happy gardening to you too.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-47940213544610501762013-03-05T13:49:29.465+00:002013-03-05T13:49:29.465+00:00I love the double snowdrop.
