    And I have a fuchsia pink colour almost bordering on purple.

    SGL you need to keep a close eye on foxglove seeds now, one day they are greenish, next day popped.

    Pull the whole pod carefully off the plant and open it over a sheet of paper, its like dust.

    SGL, remember its poisonous, so wash your hands or wear gloves, might not be a problem, but you dont want to be poorly now you are so close to being a lady of liesureimage

    Had a thought bekkie, salvia's or agastache would make good additions doesn't matter what variety they are.

    Ive got some beautiful blue hardy salvia seeds which will grow to 3 or 4 ft tall, also have purple agastache with green leaves, you are more than welcome to both, just pm your details image

    Salvia is ready and does germinate as ive sown some already, agastache is in flower, so will be a few weeks longer image

    Thanks for the tips Lyn and bekkie x

    Bekkie, could I have a few salvia seeds if you have any left please.

    Do you sow them now or wait till Spring?

    I was just reading about the agastache, it said they need winter protection, it gets mighty wild down here in the winter. What do you think?

    Hi Lyn, of course you can have some salvia! I sow it now, simply because thats when the plant naturally drops the seed so its the "right" time, i think it also helps earlier flowering image



    The agastache just self seeds all over, so is very tough, but it does like good drainage, it often grows in the gravel path, i just move it in the spring image

    A huge big thank you to Bekkie, she has sent  me  loads of mixed geraniums, that is so generous of you.

    I am sorting out my borders this week so will do your geraniums and probably the campanulas, I cant remember, Bekkie, if you wanted blue as well or just white?
