--- Quote from: Rick R. on December 26, 2018, 10:04:21 PM ---Ian, I am silent mostly, but be assured that my respect and gratitude continues to grow with time. Your knowledge, thoughts, theories, art, design, photography and writing weave a cohesive and easy to read content. A simple Thank you is quite inadequate, but it will have to do. And thank you, also, to everyone that makes this project possible.
I really like the review theme to your Bulb Logs at the end of the years. Especially since you include the covers of the previous logs, it jogs one's memories. For instance, you have prompted a question in my mind:
In Bulb Log 07 ( http://www.srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/2018Feb141518606975BULB_LOG_0718.pdf ) you had hope to get better seed set by keeping your potted Eranthis pinnatifida outside, instead in the greenhouse during flowering. Were you successful?

Rick,
thank you for your very kind words of appreciation. The reason I continue writing the Bulb Log is because of the encouragement I receive through the many ways we can communicate these days including when I am out and about.
In answer to your question no I did not get very much seed on the Eranthis pinnatifida this year but that was entirely down to the long period of freezing and very windy conditions at that time of year . The plants did grow on for longer than they would under glass so I hope they are now stronger I hope for better success and more favourable weather in 2019
Rick R.:
Thanks, Ian. I should have remembered the terrible and long suffering "spring" you all had in Europe this year.
Much Hope, Good Luck and Success for the New Year!

Thank you so much for another wonderful year of Bulb Logs, Ian. I always recommend them to beginners wanting to know more about growing bulbs, but your inquiring mind and refusal to accept 'received wisdom' is an inspiration to experienced growers as well.
