July 2002

I try different flowers and plants every summer – except for the big one that covers the wall. I buy a new one of the same kind every year in May as it is only a one-year plant. I once mnaged to get seeds that I could plant the next year. But that was only once.

The pink tobaccoflowers I had in 2002 were very good and lasted long. Also had a nice fragrance. Some of those I tried in 2003 were nice for only a short while and then died. Either it was the flowers or it was the very warm and dry summer. I think I will get tobaccoflowers in 2004 again – even though they attract bugs.

June 2003 – These did not last the whole summer either.
It was too hot and sunny and they dried out.
They were nice in June though.

June 2003. These lasted and bloomed until October and the first frosts.
