Bought a packet of Johnson’s “Jolly Jester” tagetes - I just love those tall stripy things.
Anyway, I sowed them, pricked them out, planted them and looked after them. They’ve just started to flower and they are little dwarf “Naughty Marietta”.
Bugger - I only grow tall things for cutting!
To give them their due, Johnson’s have said that they’ll replace them - BUT I’ve not got any lovely stripy jolly jesters this year - and who
knows if the replacement pack will be Jolly Jesters.
So annoying.
We really are at the mercy of the seed companies - and thankfully, most of the time they get it right.
Apologies for weird font changes. Dunno what’s going on!
