This is my ridiculously tall and colourless Bergamot!! Not happy at all with this. It's the only seedling I got from a packet of seeds and, as you can see it's not good at all. Bergamot will not grow for me and I was looking forward to it. Never mind 💕💕

No bergamot here. This looks like a weed. 😉

I agree with ⬆️⬆️ Christine. Definitely a weed 😢

It didn't grow very well for me either. When I did flower the flowers didn't last long so I've not bothered since 🙁

@agiecrazycatlady I won't bother with it again. Strange but not everything works does it 😕

@ublaszko @anges @jacaranda I can confirm most definitely that this is where I put it. No it's not a weed but I might as well pull it up 😕

Why not leave it in place and see how it develops, Christine? Even if it is a weed it might be one you like! @ublaszko @anges 🤞

@jacaranda I'm fed up of it and it looks silly. I'll check it today but it was put there out of my greenhouse and that was months ago 😊

I know what you mean. If it’s giving you grief you might as well pull it up then it won’t be a constant reminder of what might have been. 😢

It's disappointing when things don't work out Christine but the rest of your garden has definitely worked out!! 😍😍

@anges It's nothing in the grand scheme of things; I-m much more concerned with the flodded areas of Yorkshire where the damn is breached. More rain today so I hope they got it sorted yesterday. It must be awful having to leave their homes 😕
