i had 3 sunflowers growing, 2 of them flowered at around one meter and the other well i thought it was a dandylion it was so small when it flowered at about 2 inches lol i was going to take a picture of it but the slugs devoured it overnight
I was finding it rather upsetting,(my bumblebees had dirty orange bums)their have chosen my patio to die on.
Yesderday luchtime left my lunch plate for a minute, came back and a wasp was in my plate raiding my blackforest ham, I kindly removed a peice and watched it come back numerous time cutting bits of it. This time last year I would have been flapping around and causing a fuss, but just watched it and enjoyed the moment.
Thanks Kate for the advice regarding sea holly cuttings, will give it a try in a few weeks. Have you any idea why my roses have mildew on the leaves and around the buds, they flower beautifully,so doesn't seem to have harmed them, just don't look too nice.
Hi there... Just been out and measured my tallest sunflower and it's 4 metres 30 mm..The tallest I've ever grown for sure...others around it are around 3.5 - 4 metres....they are magnificient....I'll email a picture.... Cheers
