Here are the 11 seedlings from Alistair's seeds (a cross between Alphonse Mucha and Bruce’s Pink) that were sown last May. They're the ones growing in the grey buckets in the front of the bed. I don't think they'll manage to flower before winter. They've done it rather tough, having to weather three hailstorms, one of them very severe. I try to give them a bucket of water each, twice a week, with liquid fertiliser when I remember. (I added a lot of fertiliser to the pots when planting them too.) And I keep squashing those ladybirds with 20+ spots, which seem to love brugs even more than the caterpillars if that's possible ...

Just to confuse matters, there's a Dr Seuss brug peeping through on the left-hand side of the photo (it's the one with serrated leaves) plus a large brug aurea in the main bed behind the row of seedlings.
