Hi Sally - Ah, we will have a look. We have been very, very busy with new joiners from around the world which has meant a higher than normal plant request demand.
FYI - We are also busy currently rebuilding all of Shoot, other than the garden planner, and when we re-launch it any glitches will be sorted out. We will raise this in our team meeting on Wednesday and see what can be done. Thanks for your patience.
All the best, Nicola

Thanks Nicola, Appreciate the help! That is one reason I asked - I put them in around 28 Jan (when my seed lorry arrived with this year's deliveries :-) ) but every time I log back into Shoot it shows them as having been submitted at the time of last log in - wonder if you have a bug in your system?

Hi Sally, we have double-checked for you and all your pending plants to add are only just requested today.
We aim to get them all added within 2 weeks, however, we are experiencing very high demand for this feature and for Shoot in general so it may take longer than 2 weeks to add them for you.
Thanks for your patience.
Best regards, Nicola

I have placed lots of requests for plants to be added to the Shoot listing over the past month as seeds go in, but none appear to have been acknowledged? Anyone got ideas on how to improve the process?

Hi. Do you still have Dazzler in your collection? I'd love to have it also. Would you be keen to deal with me?

I have just had it confirmed by an expert who visited that my 20 year old Wisteria is dead from some form of rot. I need to replace it.
I need to establish where ther is a good nursery and whether some grow quicker than others. I'm very upset as it's my fave plant. It was big and beautiful. Any suggestions or advice appreciated.

I sowed three packs of Deltoides Dianthus last autumn in seed trays. Brilliancy, Alba and Flashing Lights.
All of these little darlings flourished in that they spread and look very healthy however only Brilliancy actually flowered.
Am I being impatient expecting all three varieties to have flowered or do they like different growing conditions? I am on heavy clay soil but the top layer has been improved greatly so I doubt these little gems would reach down far enough to get their roots into the thick sticky stuff. Anyone any ideas?
The seeds were all bought from a highly respected nursery, sown at the same time and are all planted in the same situation. With the glorious summer we have had i the UK it is a mystery why only one type has smiled on us with flowers though.

Another long blooming perennial is galega officinalis Lady Wilcox or is it Wison? it is a tall perennial, blooms in July-Aug, pea flower blue and white bi coloured, needs staking, since it is hollow stemmed, helianthus ' lemon queen, starts off in August and goes into Sept. needs to be divided frequently, but is easy, not too deep rooted and of course,, anemone 'the white one that has been around, the varietal name escapes me, it sounds French. Oh well price for getting old I suppose.

Clematis 'Niobe' easy, beautiful and long blooming, Verbena bonariensis, Linaria 'Canon Went' also Erysium 'Bowles Mauve' I've had it flowering into December, it gets woody after a couple of years but it's so easy to root from cuttings. I have a small garden so I'm always looking for hardy long flowering perennials. Which do you recommend?

Hi Kathryn, Welcome to Shoot! Thanks for your message. Do you have any photos of these plants you can add to the forum? If yes, reply to you or me and add up to 3. Cheers Nicola p.s. I hope you enjoy Shoot!

Heuchera "Silver scrolls". And nectaroscordum.

I bought several heuchera varieties last autumn and they've all done well, but I especially like Silver Scrolls. I have two in plain dark grey pots on the sides of my patio steps, and they've looked great right through winter on their own, fab in spring underplanted with little bright pink species tulips, and are still looking marvellous on their own again, now with three-foot high flower spikes - much more dramatic flowers than the other varieties.
And nectaroscordum. I planted these in a dry shady corner where nothing so beautiful would normally consider growing, and they've come up for a second year with two flower spikes instead of one, looking perfectly happy.

Worth the space for their long season of bloom, Geranium 'Patricia' and G. Roxanne, the latter likes to weave through the legs of shrubs.

It's got to be the first flower I ever grew on my own - Lily of the Valley. My dad gave me five bulbs to plant when I was about 3 years old and I remember them multiplying every year with those wonderfully shaped leaves. And the smell was heavenly! We had to move house when I was 10 years old, and I was heartbroken to have to leave them behind. I've just planted half a dozen bulbs in my current garden (fifty years later!) and I hope they will be as successful as my first attempt.

Thats right, i dont cut mine back to ground level because i want to keep a frame work there for the spring / summer growth, but i do pollard it to around 3ft high with 3 outward facing branches left to support next seasons growth. This then encourages bigger foliage and prevents the plant from ever growing to large, mine max's out to 8ft a year.
