Gardening newbie, enjoying learning and experimenting, mainly gyo in raised beds, but also growing flowers from seed (with mixed success) 😄

Discovered this lonely flower at the bottom of the garden today, what a trooper, after a week of frosts! #hollyhock

My 6ft tall Hollyhocks for #talltuesday. Tallest flower in my garden, I've had to tie them to the wall to stop them falling over again 😁 #hollyhock

I've been nurturing the four precious Hollyhocks that survived from those I sowed last March, and planted out last autumn. They were looking so strong and sturdy, and just ready to bud, I was so looking forward to it! Then I went out yesterday morning to tidy up after the overnight gales and rain to find they were casualties 😢 the 6 foot giants had been toppled. When I lifted them up i noticed that the first two flowers had opened ☺ I've tied them up now, fingers crossed!!
