Next year I'm starting these in January 👍 or earlier 😋

Slugs!!!! Ate half of my babies... There going inside now 😣

🐌😡!!!!!

Oh know. But looks like you have a good few left

Yes I do there safe and sound now in the house

Tiny little seedling getting its first true leaves... 😊🌺

Mine are getting quite big now, I had a few fraught moments with them Kimmy. They got really leggy in the house but have settled nicely in the greenhouse. It won't be long before I can plant them out. 😍😍😍

Mine are still tiny.. Doing well in the greenhouse but snails have eaten half of them 😣 I've just taken them indoors @pelly

Like these a lot! Might be the plant I've been searching for, for my front garden 😀

I loved this last year I couldn't stop taking pics and you buy one and get so many seeds 😍 @titchyfra

From my own seeds collected last summer 😊

Collecting seeds 💛

Lovely 🤗

Great flowers @kimmy01

Can't really see the watering can any more 😮

You can just see the spout @kimmy01 clearly very happy in there

Why does this keep happening before they flower 🙁

Not enough feed maybe @kimmy01

My eyes may be deceiving me, but could the green fly be causing the problem. If you look at the stem behind your hand there is something on it. @kimmy01 🤔

Also does the can get hit by sun at all metal needs out the sun totally when planted .. 🤔

Yes there is green fly is on it :/ its on a lot of my plants 😭

Yup it gets lots of sun @slj I might have to move it :(

I'm sure it will look just as lovely somewhere else 😊

@kimmy01 if you but some washing up liquid and water into a spray bottle, and give your plants a good spraying the greenfly can't stick to your plants. I've had to do this a few times already this year 😁

Ive heard this @bevkb how much liquid would you put in to water 1-10? And your plants dont get affected?

Probably yes @kimmy01 just enough to make it bubble up when shaken. Your plants will be fine, try to just spray the stems or any part you see greenfly. 😃

It doesn't damage plants @kimmy01 but avoid doing it in hot sun light so evening time probably best so leaves don't scorch - of course if it rains you need to reapply 🙄

First flowers 💛

Lovely @kimmy01 such a happy flower

Taking over the watering can all on its own now

Love it! How clever 🙄

I'm just shocked how big it has got compared to when I bought it 😮

That's amazing.

Fantastic idea!

Can't wait to see it in flower

#wateringcan

That thriving 👍😁

Wow that's doubled in size since your last pic. Amazing what a bit of sun will do 👯

I think this is the right name for the plant... My sons choice he wanted :) I don't know where it's going yet
