Is it me or are the foxgloves extra tall this year.
We have one nudging 8ft, and several near 7ft.

A coincidence! Yesterday, an aunt mistook some of my foxgloves for
hollyhocks! Some are about six feet (2 metres) tall but others are two
to four foot tall. I thought that perhaps the tall ones are a special
variety? My foxgloves were all started three years ago with a packet of
'wild foxglove' seeds and a packet of tall, multicoloured varieties,
both packets from B&Q.

It's the weather. My potatoes are 4' high!
