I rely on the birds and wind to spread ours - it comes up almost anywhere, lovely plant

Oooh you've reminded me Mal. I gleaned some Honesty seeds on a dog walk. I'm blowed if I can remember what I did with them. Probably washed them in a jacket pocket ::)
Ho hum, maybe next year then. ;D
Shame about the sweet peas, do you want any of my saved plot sweet pea seeds?

thanks, maggie, the sweet peas I planted in feb are doing great, only the overwinter ones died ..I might still have some honesty seed if you'd like some, I'll have to have a look on tuesday , oh, btw..the lovely, lemon scented geranium you gave me has died, all the snow fell off the polytunnel and covered it for ages and it just died off  :-\

Oh bother!!! I'll have a look in the greenhouse tomorrow and see how my cuttings are. If all is good I'll send you some more. Yes please to the Honesty if you have any but don't worry if not, I'll gather some more this year. ;D
