    Harvested some hollyhocks from different plants today. Could be a surprise when they flower in 2 years.

    I’ve grown agapanthus from seed, they take a few years to bloom.
    I’ve never kept any seeds in a fridge.

    If I kept my seeds in the fridge, there would be no room for any food.

    Nice! There is nothing more rewarding imo, and its a triple hit too; collection, germination & sharing!

    I've managed to germinate canna this year from seeds I collected at the end of the summer. I never thought it possible. That feeling when I saw the little rolled leaf emerging from the pot was incredible.
