Oh what wonderful things. Have just been to a snowdrop sale in Enfield. Was very restrained and only spent £25. I love them. Does anyone else share this obsession?

I have never managed to grow a snowdrop and I have tried each time I have moved so I have now given up.

chocolatepudding I agree, what a lovely place to go and lose yourself and have memories of your little girl.

Heĺlo from me the former Nelliemoser. I am now named Gettingitrightoneday. Which is a dreadful mouthful but I am very relieved to get back on GN.

I have not been able to get in since Christmas. When my lovely Google tablet died before xmas.

It seems to me there have been a number of changes on how the site since I was last on. GNHQ have finally sorted it out for me.
I am hoping to get the hang of how to use it.

*Charley girl 5*What sort of soil is your garden in? My sister inlaw lives in in Buckinghamshire and gave me some seedlings when they have flowered and what is called "in the green ." With the leaves on."
Hers were in a very chalky soil and did not do very well.

The snowdrops in my very silty slightly acid soil grow every where. You might have to change the soil. To get a decent crop.
