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).
