I love your pictures, it's really interesting to guess what they are by sight and then work it out from the descriptions. I'm definitely better at identifying things now than this time last year.

I noticed you are growing nasturium and calendula....were you planning on eating them?

I am growing calendula also and borage with the hopes of eating some tasty flowers

[jeny]

I'm actually growing a lot of it for my rabbit to eat although I may give the flowers a try myself

On another note editor, I meant to call the thread 'yarden' its not a garden its a yard

Thanks!

Well maybe the odd rose petal as a kid, but no not really, so I have a clean notebook

loving your YARDEN

I had a great 14x4 foot YARDEN years ago in Sunny Sydney
which I BUILT .....on part of my big- ALL CONCRETE - back yard

I lived there for just 12 months ~and that is where I grew my my FIRST Ever and ONLY vegetable ~A YOUNG vegetable seedling plant ~ A Wonderful cucumber plant ~
and by golly that one baby plant soon created enough long delicious cucumbers daily ~that summer ~ to feed the whole neighbourhood

This year I decided to try growing some vegetables again... and getting a greenhouse~ ended up getting
2 ......of the -BEST EVER- In QUALITY-LOOKS n PRICE
WILKINSON'S ~MINI 4 Tier Greenhouses
and re-created them to make 3 brill Great looking and MEGA useful items for my garden

It's a bit of a mess at the moment, am going to move the greenhouse when a spider has birthed her babies from behind the smaller one which i want to move... i accidentally moved it the other day and felt bad that i had disturbed her.
