Thanks Sheila, Shirley, they soon get going so might flower in the autumn. Karen they are early this year. Dotty if you need seed I can save some.

Thanks for that Dawn ...

Do you cut them back, Dawn? I have one (one!) white one from Sarah Raven - in flower and over 2 ft tall, but I think it would be better 'bushy'.

Mine are really tall too, they’re in the woodland so I just let them die down so they seed around and they do. If you need seed Sheila I can save you some, easy to grow they are.

Thank you Dawn - that would be great. Very kind of you :)

I will make a note Sheila and I'll let you know when they're ready.

Ooops, I’m an idiot Dawn - just found a packet of Sweet Rocket seeds I’d forgotten I’d bought!

OK Sheila

If you have some spare......I would love some Dawn!

Ok Dotty, you're very welcome, I will make a note for when they're ready. Near to Amy's old home, she visited a field full of them, that's where my seed originated :-)

This is great for me to see Dawn as I have a tray of seedlings to be planted. I doubt they will flower this year though!
