    I AM sending some of my flower photographs, a selection from the many blooms grown from AG’s most welcome seeds, showing French marigolds, angel’s wings (new to me and delighted with them) phlox, aster, petunia and cosmos, which are still flowering happily even now, well through October and in the north-east.

    You might be interested to know that the delphinium and hollyhock seeds were sown a good number of years ago and keep flowering beautifully year after year. The foxgloves, likewise, perform well each year because they self-seed so readily.

    Thank you so much to John
