They're Alive!!!!

I just thought I'd mention that my balcony flower box now has 13 Begonias that have broken the topsoil and are coming up fast. They remind me of a sprout shooting for the sun. I'm going to have babies.

Re: They're Alive!!!!

Congratulations Bob on your new 'family'
I know how you feel, I am no gardener and have been put in sole charge of a little sunflower plant belonging to one of my grandaughters, the Brownies gave them one each last week, (thanks for that!) It's in the most sheltered sunny spot I could find but with all the winds I've had to stake it with little sticks and string ...... oh please don't break in half.

Are you sure they are begonias, Bob? Begonias usually have rounded leaves
