        I grew agastache foeniculum (anise hyssop) from seed one year. Lovely aniseed flavoured leaves, bees love the flowers. I let it grow where it was for a couple of years then decided to move it - it didn't survive the move.

              Have sown sweet peas, French marigolds, pot marigolds, pansies, busy Lizzy,and lobelia, chapin at the bit to get some nasturtium started
              it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                Agastache, I sowed it about three years ago. Sowed in a seed tray and then potted into small pots until they were sturdy enough to plant out.
                They have come back every year so looks like they are frost hardy although the stems have become a bit woody.
                The bees absolutely love them.

                And when your back stops aching,
                And your hands begin to harden.
                You will find yourself a partner,
                In the glory of the garden.

                  No, I have too many slugs, I sowed them in trays indoors.

                  Sowed French marigold and cosmos yesterday.

                  No sign of the delphinium seeds sown 22nd Feb but the sweet peas I chitted are potted on and coming up
