Launch of The-Fuchsia-File.co.uk

January 16th, 2008 by David Murray | No Comments | Filed in Perennials, Plants, Shrubs, Spring, Summer

I’ve been promising for some weeks but things have gone very slowly. It’s a much reduced version compared with the one I’d intended to upload around now. I’ve been working very slowly recently. Click here for www.the-fuchsia-file.co.uk

It currently has brief notes on a dozen cultivars which I wrote in a relaxed style while staying with my son at Christmas time. There are some others drafted at that time still to be checked, and these should be added quite soon. Also, I’m planning to add more photos very shortly.

On the site you’ll also find links to fuchsia books, and on the home page I highlight a DVD on fuchsia cultivation produced by Thompson & Morgan in the UK. (I’ll try to find an equivalent DVD for our North American visitors shortly).

That’s it for now. Enjoy the new site as it develops,

Creating Your New Herb Garden

January 8th, 2008 by David Murray | No Comments | Filed in Books, Herbs, Plants

It’s several weeks since I added an article to the main Gardening-Notes site. In the limited time available I’ve been thinking more about the new fuchsia site, which I hope to be ready very shortly. However, today there’s a new article on starting a new herb garden. We have a few more herb-related articles in preparation, so look out for more. Our main bookselling site also has a good variety of titles on both growing herbs and cooking with herbs.
