I received this as a present 🎁

I was looking forward to planting them as I’ve never had Cornflowers in my garden before.

Everything was included and it was very easy to do.

Fill the bucket with the compost to just under the rim. Add the seeds. Cover with remaining compost, water and keep moist. And wait for them to grow …

Which they did 😀

A week later, and they were starting to look great!

I had heard that thunderstorms and heavy rain was on the way so I thought I’d move my tiny cornflowers to a more sheltered corner of the garden to try and protect them a little.

But when I go out the next morning I find this 😡 (I moved him back out into the garden for photo purposes)

My little flowerpot man had fallen in the storm, but why did he have to fall right on top of my flowers? 😡☹️

So I sorted them out again as best as I could, trying to make them a bit more secure and smoothing the compost back over.

Poor things ☹️

So let’s see what happens now, I hope they are ok and start to recover. I’ll try and remember to keep you posted 🤞
