Geoff and I moved to our present house in December 2013. Starting from scratch it's been a huge challenge but we love it. joanboston357@gmail.com

We did thanks, and the garden didn’t suffer too badly. I don’t know if you are keen on growing from seed, I could collect seed from the darker one later in the year and send you some, I have had success doing that @keely

Oooh that would be lovely Joan thank you I did really well this year with my first year of doing more seeds some failed but it didn't matter when you have success with others. Let me know nearer time and I will pass you my address thank you again 😄😘
