Amy the seed I sent you were sent to me by a member on here from their home in France, she gets so many seeds and has sent me some for several years now, mine don't survive either or set seed,she did to sell them on ebay but isn't allowed now because they're poisonous, sure there are lots of other seeds on there that are just as toxic !

I have saved 5 seeds from France last year Kathy I read they will keep for at least 5 years I wonder if the cold damp start to this year hasn't helped it will be interesting to see what happens with the 5 saved next year .. did you see in the news where a man was dangerously ill after only touching a monks hood in his garden I was tempted to dig mine out but didn't dare go near it LOL...

Ours are very slow this year, but in another week they should be fine, I wonder what the ants are finding to eat on your plant?

That's lovely. I wonder why the ants like it so much, could it be blackfly? I know when the ants appear in large numbers on a plant in my garden I can usually find blackfly too.

I think you and I should compete for the prize 'Who has had the most plants attacked and eaten by garden pests this year!'
Actually, no contest, I would definitely win!!

There must be something the ants are partial to on the plants I couldn't see any blackfly its odd when you think how poisonous some parts of the plants are , Chris we've had our fair share of garden pests but I'm prepared to let you win that one Lol :o) ...
