"Our typical weather here in the UK is rain, there is nothing more exciting for a gardener than to see a little bit of sun shine"

That feels like a distant memory now. Since moving to South Australia this sentence has turned on its head! Now there is nothing more exciting than to see a bit of rain; or even a LOT of rain, if it's summer!

That should be interesting to see how the cornflowers grow. My lax gardening methods have meant that I'm beginning to find that seeds are very intuitive. They don't always follow the rules that the gardeners handbooks lay out. In recent years most of the plants I have success with are often volunteers.
