With a smidgen of space of my windowsill, I have decided to make a start on growing some seeds I have acquired through buying a certain magazine (You don't have to be Sherlock to guess which one ;D).
The viola seeds I've had for about a year, I was going to grow them last year for Autumn, but in the end I opted for wallflowers instead.
The red sunflowers are from last months magazine, I find I am like a magpie regarding sunflowers and pumpkins (which I tell you about at a later date.) I love the different varieties and think this might stem from my childhood and my Sindy greenhouse. The flimsy toy came with a collection of seeds including sunflowers. The bigger the plant grew, the more I was fascinated. How could such a small seed grow into something as tall as my Dad's garage? From then on I grew them every year, courtesy of a seed or two from my hamsters food. This however waned in my moody teenage years, but my love of sunflowers came back once I had a garden of my own. The seeds are now courtesy of the garden bird's gru, as I longer have a hamster to steal from. So along with these plus a smaller variety in my pot luck selection, I now have a red stunner to add to my borders this Summer.
It's all your fault Sindy...
