    My hedge is almost needing a trim. I'll give it another week or two, but that will definitely be the last cut until about the end of March.

    I must be a bit on the OCD spectrum because any little bits which poke up from the hedges drive me nuts. So, I'm constantly out there giving them a trim. Had a respite during the drought because they stopped growing.

    Has anyone grown Agapanthus from seed ? The Agapanthus did really well this year but have now finished and covered in large seed heads. Is it possible to grow from these ?

    Not a good idea - we have tried with little success. Better to just split the plants in early spring before they wake up from their winter hibernation.

    yup, its a lot of work from seed and it will take 3 years til it flowers. not difficult tho. dividing plants is quick and easy way to get more plants without buying them.
    you pick the pods when they go brownish and keep them in a paper bag til they split. then remove seeds and put in a box with lid so no moisture or light gets to them. seed them in trays as per usual in spring. look after for a full year then plant out. dont over dampen them..use perlite etc, moist not wet

    I think I'll cut the grass later if it stays dry. That should see it through to March with a bit of luck!

    So much for mowing the grass. The moment I mentioned it, the rain started and hasn't stopped!
