October 9th - Collected seed heads from Kenora Valentine - 2 seeds. Gurtla Twilight - none and more Marston George.
Weather has been pants, we've had strong gusts of wind, lot of wind, pouring rain, thunder and hail. The dahlias look sad, all bent snapped and soaked.
I want to collect more seed heads but they are saturated. Have had an idea.
Going to try putting the seed heads (NOT SEEDS) into Vermiculite. I need to pick a lot more than I can go through for seeds. I was thinking at least if they were stored in Vermiculte for a few days they won't be getting any wetter...
Might try it with the Benda Ts, there are loads of seed heads on them.

I did not get any seeds from my poms, they all rotted off, but not too bothered about that, will still have seeds to sow next year.  |

is it possible you could have had Man flu Moonlight. not sure if there is a female variety but it knocks the males of the species for six. Hope you didn't sneeze when counting your seeds because that tends to make the surrounding air turn a shade of blue. |

p.s. HH said that I had something much worse than Man flu, he said that I had Woman Flu and that's worse than Man Flu.
I said I had a cold. |

I tend to speak from experience and manflu is definately the pits. You would not wish it on your worst enemy (is excluded) I have had to live alongside woman flu and I know it is grim (especially for the nearest & dearest) Tomorrow Sunday I am going to be so busy doing the hundred and one things that require doing but what thanks do you get? Mo, 'I have a dinner to cook'  Me, I have to eat it  Just kidding. I don't mind eating |

"I don't like slugs" I was told emphatically.
Bless her.
I don't think there has been enough time for Fairy's to have any.
