Really? Well - there would be plenty to go round - some for me, and lots for them. Shall I save you some seeds later on?

Are you OK for seeds? I'll collect them, I think, and offer them to members. :-)))

Thanks for the offer of seeds, Spritz. I actually bought some again this year.

I guess the mice got the seeds.....

This year I have planted some in a tall pot (ala Carol from Gardener's World! :)

Have we got to call you 'Carol' now, then? lol.

We occasionally see little mice in the garden, but obviously not enough of them to eat all the seeds, because plants appear in the strangest of places! :-)
