A Garden from 100 Packets of Seed

[veggiechicken]

Tulips, bluebells, daffodils, snowdrops, gladioli, cyclamen, magnolia, clematis, Jasmin.

Of course one or two of these might not be grown from seed, but what do I know about flowers.

None on his list - probably because they're mostly grown from bulbs.

[veggiechicken]

Sunflowers, rudbeckia, sage, tangerine sage ( looks a little tropical to me )
Manor Farm Herbs: Tangerine Sage
Snap dragons ( antirrhinums), Pansys, violas, lots of variety of thyme and mint.
Passion flower ( that will do for climber and tropical)

good try...............

The book was going dirt cheap on ebay, so it fell into my basket somehow..
Funny how this happens isn't it!

[veggiechicken]

Hahaha. I should be on commission. (Its not my book, in case anyone's wondering).
