Morning πŸ‘‹πŸΌβ˜•οΈ - off to London briefly to meet some ex-work friends for Lunch today, but had a quick 30 mins in polytunnel before leaving. These are seedlings of Cyclamen cilicium which I sowed in 2017. Just coming back into leaf after being dormant through the summer. Hoping the tubers swell up a bit this season as I want to get them out of these plugs soon. The only reason they are in here is because of the great growhouse disaster of 2018 (πŸ™ˆ) #thestormwithnoname

Oops - I better get that weed seedling of Hairy Bittercress out when I get home - it’s an ephemeral weed which can germinate and flower/set seed again within a very short period! (Like in about six weeks 🀨) #hairybittercress #cardaminehirsuta

Haha! I was going to say you missed a teensy weed there πŸ˜‰πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚ Well done on persevering with these seedlings and it's going to be such a treasure once they grow to a flowering size. πŸ‘πŸ‘

Ooo excellent! πŸ₯— judging by how much is also in the garden, looks like I’ve got plenty to last me a lifetime, I could bag it and sell it πŸ˜† @carolgs

Hehe, I’m terrible at weeding @ublaszko - probably why I have so much of it πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ. Certainly need patience with these too, why do I always pick the things that take forever to get to right size? πŸ€”πŸ€£

I really don't like weeding our patio which has dandelions self-seeded from our neighbours. You are certainly a patient guy! 😁 I can barely wait to see my camellias, only have one bud between two plants so it will be another year now. 😰

And what about magnolia or wintersweet which can take up to 10 years before they flower πŸ˜²πŸ˜²πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Oh that’s a shame. I think (although I don’t want to tempt fate) I might have some on one of mine. They other definitely no buds swelling. πŸ˜‚ I don’t think I have the patience for 10 years, I’d buy a bigger one straight away I think @ublaszko
