Dear Clare, Thank YOU for introducing us to a very nice gardening site. I was happy to give Lynn a vote! She will need more, though. There are a number of...
I don't think you have anything wrong with your violets as everyone who grows violets will grow in differenly under their home conditions. Most plants order...
