And he also let us know that he has some seedlings starting to appear: “They’re Chilli plants, a variety called Demon Red (nice ‘n’ spicy!) and apparently they’re attractive as well as tasty. The picture from the seed company (below) looks pretty good!”.

A big thanks to Debby H. for sharing an update from her north London garden! While we sowed ours directly outside this year and are still waiting for them to pop up, Debby’s cosmos are already starting to flower even though the plants are still small (see her photos above).
