This is some stuff from work gearing up for summer bedding displays & the change of season
Some 900 geraniums classed as tender perennial plants & not very frost hardy this will be the 3rd year i have cared for these, normally removed from the bedding areas autumn time being left to over wintered in one of the green house's i manage for use next year.
Some other annual flowers i growed from plug plant stage which some have been used for hanging baskets the others will be for urns, troughs, tubs or used as dot plants in various garden areas.
In the tropical house some of my favourites are orchids & bromeliads so much going on all year around.
Annual flowers being harden off & waiting planting out very soon.
Another geranium this one is part of the private plant collection used for floristry displays in the mansion & many more including scented varieties, currently working on replacing stock via cuttings as old stock is getting a little woody & less productive.
A very busy fuzzy wuzzy, still got to get around to direct seed sowing some veg & other herbs in the garden... oh ye heard mention of chilli's pardon are excellent pan fried in olive oil & garnished with rock sea salt so tasty it is pretty true about the odd roulette pepper in the batch this pepper has some few hundred years of history...
Padrón peppers were brought back from South America by Spanish monks in the 16th century. The monks grew the peppers in the gardens of their convent, in the small village of Herbón, within the Padrón district. The peppers soon became a favourite at the table of locals, enabling the monks to trade in the peppers for other much-needed products.
400 years later and the peppers are no longer grown by monks but by locals, generation after generation.
I grow a few chilli's as well i'll get some pic's up when they are in flower & fruiting.
