Not bad considering they were just little 50p packets of seeds from the shop.

My sunflowers are doing well too. I learnt my lesson a few years ago when I planted 20 seeds thinking not all would take, they all took. Had to try find pots for them all haha.

This year I planted just six (3 yellow/3 red).

My various basils, potatoes, rocket, chilis and tomatoes are doing well so far too. The dill and tarragon, not so much. They’re growing, but very slowly.

Also my jasmine is going wild again too, it’s huge now from when I got it 2 years ago. Can’t wait for that to flower again. It’s my favourite summer smell (alongside cut grass/bbq).

…^^^…sunflowers are such fun to grow and keep measuring through their growing cycle because they really do grow to adulthood quickly…they’re one of my favourite flowers…putting a jar of sunflowers in the house is a gorgeous thing……

… @Maru….awww, with the leash ……maybe your little dog was somewhere in that story and somehow saying…let the leash go to another dog now and start a new memory of love because wherever it is and whoever is using it…will never take from the wonderful walks we have…those things are in the heart and not in the leash……

…honestly, your photos are absolutely stunning…little baby Maru must get so much joy in looking at pics that her mama has taken……
