2012 has been a strange year for a gardener. Spring was very dry, summer was the second wettest on record. The wet weather has continued throughout the year. This view through my kitchen window has been a common one.
I managed to lose my bag of seeds so only had my new purchases to sow. I kept hoping I would find it but It still hasn't turned up. I really missed the sweet peas.
Calendula 'Sherbet Fizz'
Ageratum 'Red Sea'
I grew the Calendula and Ageratum pictured above. They were for cutting but I was disappointed with both of them.
Scabious 'Black Night'
Scabious 'Black Night' was different. Larger flower than the other Scabious I have grown. Lasted well in a vase. I loved it and I will grow lots in 2013.
