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!

Gosh...so quick!

Lovely plants.

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 :-)
