I have your seed to plant out soon. Are you still interested in the cannabina plants?

I had forgotten that I’d sent you seed, and forgotten all about Cannabina … things aren’t going to get any better, are they?! I’ll just Google Cannabina to remind me and let you know, if that’s ok …

Oh, ok the hollyhock lookalike. It’s certainly pretty Ange, but have I left it too late for this summer?

Oh dear, I just misread that as Cannabis plant!!! Time for a lie-down methinks.

No, Sheila, they are quite healthy young plants and perennial. They should flower next season, late summer. The only thing I would say is they're usually 3-4ft. high, this year the oldest one is about 6ft.

Shirley, one year I accidently grew a cannabis plant from bird seed droppings. I had no idea what it was and kept it going because I liked the look of the leaves! It was only when I unpacked a book in the bookshop that had one designed on the cover that I realised what I had got. The part-time teenager in the shop thought it was hysterical that I could be such an innocent....

That's so funny, Ange. When our son was in the Police Force some years ago, they heard from another area that an elderly couple who lived in a remote part of the countryside had a huge one in their front garden. The Police were never sure if the old folk knew what it was ... or did they???!!

It’s a kind offer Ange, but I think I’ll pass this time. Even some weeding today has knocked me out, so I’m going to do less gardening for a bit, and more sitting 🙂.

Ok.

Lots of flowers for such a young shrub. Lovely.
