I am still discovering what I can grow here in Crete.
I didn't know love-in-a-mist would do so well. I haven't sown any this year. These are all self sown. ;D ;D ;D

They really do make a misty effect en masse, don't they?
Love 'em.

Lovely to see so much colour in your garden, Daisy. Gorgeous Cosmos (Bidens) and Nigella. Do you manage it all on fortnightly watering?
