I know you started yours inside--mine were sown in open ground, but they are all up. They are useful for filling gaps, and I like the leaves and flowers in salad. I was serving some local smoked salmon the other day and discovered I was out of capers--substituted pickled seeds, and they were a big hit!
Kate and I also grew the same nastertiums as Geoff, and mine look exactly like that (surprise surprise) - but they don't look like the illustration which showed them as cream with a dark red splodge. Never mind, still unusual. I have the normal almost flourescent orange ones at the plot, also good for salads!
They are a nice colour Geoff- note made of name. Mine are showing in most of the places where planted- think I just did Alaska this year. My first Cosmos, in Pop's pot, are in flower- cant remember the name, but white with a pink stripe. Spotted them growing in a large pot at Shugburgh last year & was impressed. Allowing for the removal of some slug damaged plants my display should look good. BTW Pop was my GFather & a keen veg grower! Not inherited that then!
My Sweet Williams are brill again this year. Thought that they wouldnt do a 3rd year, but no, full of flower. Grew them from seed too- swank!
Phonecall made & conveniently daughter got back early, starving, so was able to cut conversation short before daughter demolished everything & anything in kitchen that she could get at. Noway, otherwise she wouldnt eat all her tea! Gosh, just as when she was little!

Geoff goes to welsh dresser- rummages through drawer- finds seed packet-and announces they are called-"cream purple spot"

Rough about the flooding in Midlands. J.
Nice photos Geoff, I am not happy about the nasturtiums as I planted mine in a pink coordinated container so they have had to come out.
I would hate to be in court if you were the judge-I would get 10 years for scrumping.
Have been fed and watered again more fruit,strawberry ice cream. squirty cream
Italy or Germany?-I have lira
Italy have scored my tenner is no longer safe
15 years for scrumping, at least.
I have looked at your clip again, I cannot see a man on his own wearing shorts
I think for misleading the forum the sentence could be very heavy.
I am there- but even my OH couldn't spot me
-will my strawberries be safe?
I backed Italy from the start
I will be expecting a strawberry daquirir as my compensation, I feel that was very misleading.
Italy v Spain as a final, really?
I bought a fuchsia last friday, today it has collapsed
Italy have just scored second, super Mario???
Collapsed from what-exhaustion?-was it a cheapie or worth a trip to get a refund?
I could give you a clue on spot the wally
For Germany the trip is over-it will be a South European final as I predicted months ago
