Really chuffed!
« on: September 12, 2005, 13:08:23 »
Grew this from seed last year, didn't do much the first season, but this year, it's blooming it's little socks off!! And, wait for it, overwintered it outside  :o :o :o! No protection, by the side of the house. Not a cunning plan, just no room inside, smells fabulous. Lottie  ;D ;D ;D

wow, impressive flowers.  You must be doing the Cheshire cat bit.  Take it the kitchen or somewhere will be taken over this winter in case you lose it.......

Neil (The Young Ones) once said "You plant the seed, the seed grows, you harvest the seed....You plant the seed....."   if only it was that simple!!!

Why not take a few cuttings Lotty in case you loose it this winter.
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Thanks Wardy! Mimi, good plan! Though it was quite easy to grow from seed and managed the winter outside, oh dear, what to do...! OK, seeds, cuttings, half winter in the house, half out.....and big barrel to fix to wall for hanging basket! There, easy, sorted.. ;D Lottie
