I think mine have finished - not sure. I know there are a few mauve flowers left! They are lovely, and I definitely prefer this colour. :-))

Sue - I grew mine from a packet of mixed colour seed two years ago! They germinated so easily, that I had to give them away to neighbours!

Do have a go - easy-peasy!

Buy some seeds, Karen - they were really easy to grow, and I have several plants in the garden from them.

Yes, I got in in last April and so this is the first spring that I've actually been able to grow my own salad and veg crops from seed and get a head start. It's been extremely successful so far and the courgettes, peppers, and tomatoes are doing great. I need to go and sow my cucumbers next. Now that all the early veg are planted in the raised beds, I have a bit of space in there - it's only a tiny one - a six foot octagonal wooden one, and it's a lovely addition to the garden.
