My Echium seedlings

                            🌿 My tiny Echium seedlings 🌿
 
                   Just for comparison with Jess's Echium seedling !

Once you've been successful with Echiums , they will seed themselves around , although it does seem like they will only grow where they choose to grow .

Here's a slightly bigger one that had really got going and then was bashed down by the gales a few weeks back .....or maybe got flattened by someone bombing about on his ride on lawn mower .

                                                            🚜

I guess it really shouldn't have chosen to grow right on the edge of the bed , but there you are !

                              It looks like it should right itself .....hopefully .

Drizzly morning 🌧️🌧️

 Another drizzly morning and I'm in the greenhouse tidying tomatoes . Very selectively removing any yellowing leaves .  Letting in more light and air .  Checking for blight .....we seem to be o.k. at the moment .

From the greenhouse , looking across the vegetable garden . I'm wondering how much bigger the Giant Echium ( the one that Jess gave me ) is going to get .

                                             It's gonna be a whopper !
