Just been out to check on them and some of the leaves look damaged... I think maybe from the wind 😞

There are also wants on some of them, is this bad?

I think I’m going to try to start again and hope it warms up. With this rain the snails would be having anything outdoors anyway

I have some random self sets coming up in the garden. What’s the bet they do better than my carefully tended Titans?

Mine progressed from the toilet paper tubes to plant pots at the weekend, they are outside and hardened off, they are wild bird seeds so it will interesting to see how they do.

How are everyone's plants doing in all this weather? Mine are just about ok, but the leaves are a bit battered 😞

Tried to make a wine break yesterday, but it didn't work and ran the risk of squashing them so I took it down again 😬
