In reply to Jane.

That’s a thought – I’m hoping it’ll flower soon, so it’ll be easier to identify!

In reply to Ciar. They were definitely more of a success than the spring onion plants I bought at the same time - I had about 30 spring onions to start with, and when I looked on Sunday there were two remaining o.O

In reply to Granny. I feel much the same with the bag of rubbish, but Dad (who gets the job of carrying any bags back and emptying the bags into the council garden waste bin) isn't quite so enthusiastic!

In reply to March. I'm still amazed they liked growing in partial shade.... although that could explain why the previous ones we grew from seed (and planted in a very sunny spot) didn't thrive.

I will admit I kind of cheated with the peas – I bought them as seedlings from Homebase! They aren’t quite ready to pick yet – hopefully another week or so, and they’ll be big enough.

I wonder if that first plant is a verbena bonnariensis?

Wow those peas looks great – can’t believe you have them already. Making me envious.

Interesting herbs and vegetables…and pretty, too! A good bag of rubbish is quite satisfying.

Hooray for success with peas! It will be interesting to see what flowers bloom on your #1 from the mix of seeds. I’ll check back!

Love the classic shot at the end. I can hardly believe you have peas already. We were very late planting ours so they are only 6″ high.
