🌱OK Rose experts. I am not madly keen on Roses but I did see a stunning Veilchenblau rambler whilst on holiday. It looks like it has a big spread I have a fence I can train it against, but would an arch be better? Do i need to let it "ramble" or can it stand a bit of annual pruning?

Please do, I will be most grateful.

🌱 I am thinking of investing in some column fruit trees (limited space, but big ideas.) Apples, pears and plums; l would like a quince but can't find a column one. Anyone got any experience of them. I am aware of pollination requirements.

🌱 Attached is Mr Etty’s list of veg. varieties to sow in August. Some to grow to maturity, others to be used at the baby-leaf stage, whilst some will over-winter.

All will be packed full of vegetable goodness.

All can be found in our online shop thomasetty.square.site or ordered by email.

🌱 In advance of the release of my Heritage spring flower bulb catalogue, later this month, in the UK. I am looking to connect with anyone who might be interested in perusing said catalogue.

🌱Annoyingly my minions appear to be stuck on just 49 heritage tulip varieties so I have been rudely awoken, from my post-luncheon slumber, to suggest another. The life of a seed and bulb merchant is never easy!

🌱 Preparation of my flowering bulb list continues, I now have the final list of Daffodils (80 types). Dating from 17th c - 1975 (including natives). I have brought these varieties together, so that the discerning gardener may purchase a selection of heritage bulbs from one source. More details soon!

🌱 On this wet Sunday afternoon, may I respectfully suggest that you follow the link to my list of late sown vegetables, herbs & flowers, (many may be sown up until August & beyond) for those who need follow-on/overwintering crops &/or biennials to flower next year.

🌱 My hardworking staff have surprised me by revealing that my Heritage spring flowering bulb catalogue will be ready much sooner than expected. As I have been somewhat tardy in posting details of some of the varieties listed , I am now posting two such examples. Daffodil's "Fortune" & "Actaea"

🌱 We are compiling our 2025 heritage spring flowering bulb list. I shall be posting details of some of the varieties we will be listing.

There will be special offers for subscribers, if you are not already on the list sign up now. sales@thomasetty.co.uk

Here is the first Daffodil – W P Milner.

🌱 if you are a visitor attraction that sell seeds in your shop, why sell someone else's seeds when you could be selling your own?

🌱This will take you to our new illustrated list of late sown seeds of Vegetables, Flowers & Herbs (inc. many heritage types).

Should you looking for follow-on sowing, oriental vegetables, biennials or merely have gaps to fill, might we we commend this list to you?

Did anyone catch the name of the Chinese artist who painted the picture of the sparrows as seen on antiques roadshow last night?

🌱A news segment about packaging has prompted me to remind you all, that all our packets, gift boxes etc. are made from paper or cardboard (recycled/FSC if available). The use of plastic tape will be discontinued once we have used up the address labels that seem reluctant to stay adhered!

Said Skirret collection and the backups.
