Rosehip Sep 2024 6:04pm, 30 Sep 2024 33,316 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip the wind has knocked one of mine out of the ground and the rest are all leaning at various angles. Think they'll have to come out tomorrow:( Have enjoyed the unexpected multiple heads and have had a vase full in the house for the last month or so.
Velociraptor Sep 2024 6:51pm, 30 Sep 2024 71,169 posts	Quote Pin Velociraptor The last of my miniatures are in a race to see if they can flower before the first frost. I expect I'll be pulling the giant ones up soon, but they're still putting out new flower heads and it's not as if I need the space for anything else.

Rosehip 12 Mar 4:33pm, 12 Mar 2025 34,715 posts	Quote Pin Rosehip not planted any yet, will probably wait a month still - but have some seedlings growing under one of the birdfeeders that look very much like sunflowers
fleecy 12 Mar 4:41pm, 12 Mar 2025 55,473 posts	Quote Pin fleecy I dragged my propagator out of the understairs cupboard, pretty sure I have some seeds kicking around. This could be the year! I say that every year then it goes to shit and they die or I don't plant them out or the slugs snaffle them
