I've been sorting out my saved seeds and there are some spare if anyone wants any - just pm me your address  5 x purple hollyhocks (approx 10 seed heads) 5 x "black" sunflower seeds (approx 20 seeds) 5 x Rudbeckia mixed large heads (from my allotment - loads) 5 x Opium poppies mixed (just enough not to draw too much attention lol ) and lastly lots of marigold seeds. I don't know what the germination rate will be but there is plenty in each little packet to make sure something grows Hopefully I will be able to get them posted this weekend. |

Got them  They arrived safe today. Thank you. You are so right Shrub only could some one tell Spring to start now? It is 11 degrees C so that is fine but it is wetter than wet outside and the darknes is getting to me. I'll think I'll go to MssK's see what I can do. Rather get wet than depressed  |

Who knows they might even have given eachother a little wave.
Seeds on holidays ;D I know, I am barking mad.
I googled the purple Hollihock for more information. Did yours ever really grow to two meters hight?
I thought they would be more like Malva.
When they do grow that big I will have to find a nice spot for them in the back of the border.

Yes Dutchy 2m high at least and when I cut them back they started all over again. I'm sure if I am brave enough to go out in the garden tomorrow there will still be some flowers I was kindly given the original seeds from CPB earlier this year |
