[hardy49]

At the moment we have to beds of primulas which I gre from seed last year.My husand wants to take them out when they finish flowering as he says they look untidy.I think this is a shame - any suggestions please ?

Keep the primulas get rid of the husband :)

Good idea but not very practical - he does come in useful sometimes !!!!!!!

Don't you have a corner of the garden where they can be planted to be resurrected for next year I often do this in the veggie patch

[hardy49]

We are not lucky enough to have a veggie patch but we were thinking that maybe we could pot them up for the summer and replant them in the autumn ?

[YvonneM]

You should be able to keep them flowering for a bit longer by dead heading The plants should split as well to make more If you can't find room give them away someone will find them a good home Has your local church got a garden?

[hardy49]

Yes that is a good idea - many thanks for your ideas.It does help !
