Angus Clydesdale Jul 2021 8:50pm, 10 Jul 2021 22,892 posts	0 Angus Clydesdale That's exactly what we've been looking for. We sold the kids' climbing frame a couple of weeks ago (they're 13 and 16 and way too tall for it) and a swing like that will look perfect in its stead. It'll get a lot more use too.

Hanneke Jul 2021 6:23pm, 19 Jul 2021 76,666 posts	0 Hanneke Unless you remove all wild foxgloves from a 3 mile radius of your home, they will revert to wild colours i.e. magenta, pink and white. The saved seeds had obviously not been created in a pollinator free environment and hand pollinated.
Flatlander Jul 2021 8:51pm, 19 Jul 2021 2,138 posts	0 Flatlander I have just saved some foxglove seeds for a friend to plant in her garden. I gently tilted the seed laden stem, held an open paper bag under the seeds and tapped the stem so the seeds (a multitude of them which are very tiny) fell into the paper bag.
