The two cosmos Casanova White which I sowed during last month are making good progress and are now both almost 6 in/15 cm tall.
Until a couple of weeks or so ago I was well pleased with the two dwarf sunflowers, but sadly the Pacino Gold then died which was my fault as I’m fairly sure that I overwatered it. Earlier this week I sowed another one, in a 3 in/7.5 cm pot, but it hasn’t yet germinated.
Thankfully the Bambino (shown here) is now about 12 in/30 cm tall and has a flower bud forming.
One of the pot marigolds Flighty’s Favourites which I dug up on the plot bought home and repotted has been flowering throughout most of this month, usually showing several flowers at any one time.
Needless to say I’ve been delighted with this plant, being one of the best windowsill plants I’ve had so far. From now on I won’t bother trying to grow these from seed but will dig them up on the plot and, after repotting, grow them on the windowsill.
I intended putting aside some candytuft (Iberis umbellata) Fairy Mixed Colours seeds earlier in the year to grow in a pot on the windowsill but forgot to do so. The plot plants have now finished flowering and this week I started collecting the seeds, a few of which I will now sow in a 5 in/12.5 pot to hopefully germinate, grow and then flower in a couple of months.
Have a good weekend, and take care!
