I have grown some marigolds, cornflower and rudbeckia from seed, and have been picking them.The Rudbeckia is the large yellow flower in the centre, and is the first out - but can see that there are many more to follow.
The white flower is a phlox - lovely and scented, I do sell them on the market when I have some available, they are just all coming into bloom now and stand up nice and strong a good plant for the back of the flower beds, or I also have a plant in the veg patch just so that I can pick some.

Unfortunately the cornflowers fell over whilst I was on holiday so are a bit bent, I have now staked them and they are starting to sort themselves out, so hopefully will be looking better for picking in a vase soon. I love the these little flowers, and although they don't last that long they have loads of flowers, so no shortage of picking, I will be putting some seeds in next year.
So maybe if I have some left there will be some for sale on the Ampthill country Market.
