It makes me feel as if I'm doing some gardening 😂 I would love some 'Eryngium Silver Ghost' seeds if you still have some to spare.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-2850472524126003262021-01-05T13:43:14.713+00:002021-01-05T13:43:14.713+00:00Sigh, I love Violas! it is usually too warm here t...Sigh, I love Violas! it is usually too warm here to grow them.

I've quite perfected my stealthy technique and have never been caught. My mother taught me well, she was a shocker for pinching cuttings in her later years.

My Mum did exactly the same in a close family member's garden, and the reaction was also OTT. Where she only had good intentions, like you, I think the other person felt she was interfering. Some people are touchy, I wouldn't let it worry you any further. That Eryngium Silver Ghost makes a nice silhouette.

It does put you off. Still take a few seeds if there is an abundance, enjoy a little dead heading now and again. Nourish your inner child, for we shall all too soon be gone and have these worries no more.

I haven't ever deadheaded a stranger's plant but I can't keep my hands of those belonging to friends. They usually appreciate it and it's amazing how few people understand the benefit of deadheading. I'm sure the people at the Bishop's Palace would appreciate any volunteer deadheading.Katharine - Tea Break Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818011932017424783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-50040785569769341482021-01-02T16:47:45.102+00:002021-01-02T16:47:45.102+00:00I'm sorry about your deadheading tale of woe. ...I'm sorry about your deadheading tale of woe. People can be peculiar sometimes. Thank goodness that there are John Massey's in this world too. I think putting together a seed sowing timetable is a good idea as if it doesn't want sowing in Feb/March I seem to forget about them, as the unopened seed packet of Radicchio testifies.Hortus Baileyanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18238150695984094255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-73882344871158273132021-01-02T13:57:33.018+00:002021-01-02T13:57:33.018+00:00In your cause too, I think this was perfectly fine...In your cause too, I think this was perfectly fine. Better do that before the plant gets bigger, as would your resentment. I also no longer pick up litter in the streets, as I walk along, that the dustbin men have dropped by mistake, putting it in the person's bin. Mind you watching a piece of cardboard slowly disintegrate over the weeks, or even worse glass getting smashed smaller and smaller, which could hurt dog's paws is sad. If I have a spare bag on me, I take it home.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-26891782076750416102021-01-02T13:53:59.312+00:002021-01-02T13:53:59.312+00:00The cotyledon is indeed quietly pretty, and the fl...The cotyledon is indeed quietly pretty, and the flowers are quite attractive too.

I have done it myself and taken cuttings, or pinchings as we more accurately call them, as I walk early in the morning and I too have been caught in the act. It also stopped me from doing it.
