Crackers I still have Foxgloves flowering, well only just.

Am I the only one?

    Mine are over but only because I pulled up the last few to make room for more plants

    Mine is from a sowing this spring!  It's the second of the batch to flower in it's first year.  

    I was hoping for foxgloves around the new amelanchier when it's finished flowering in the spring ...... I wonder if the foxgloves will flower again.

    I think spring is a bit early. They're naturally biennial but will do annual if sown early. Once they get established they fall into their own natural rhythm and stay for ever

    I need to do some transplanting, plants always seem to germinate right at the edge between garden and path
