    Hmm.... you could have a point there @Sheal. I think at the moment though my soil here might be too dry...it's like rock ( we're on clay here). Not sure if the young roots would be able to expand and make any headway through it.:scratch:
    Oh...did you mean use garden soil in the pots instead of compost? I initially thought you were suggesting on planting them out into the border.

    Yes soil in pots sounds good...trouble is whether or not to risk it as I now only have 2 plants left.....a bit of a dilemma.:sad: I 'll have to sleep on it I think.:smile:

            @Upsydaisy is picture no 4 clary?
            If so did you grow it as a biennial or an annual.
            I remember growing that years ago and it formed an amazing short lived hedge.
            But tried it a few years later and it was very weedy.

              Beautiful Upsy and I like the new Avatar. Now you can sit and relax and enjoy all the pain and suffering with the knee and back. Easy coasting time.

                  I think it comes under that name....I just sowed these earlier this year. I have several clumps of it dotted around the garden and it looks OK....to me.;)

                    Just a little watering & a few photos taken was all I did yesterday & a few more photos this morning. Checked on the toms & they are good to go with several of the sideshoots becoming as thick as the main stem! :)
