My little plot has expanded as I've planted several pots- cabbage, courgette, beans, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach and mangetout.

See How My Garden Grows
I promised photos of the garden, the sun shone, so here they are.
My "ingenious" system for encouraging the strawberry runners to take root!
The first tiny radish- it wasn't really quite ready to be pulled up, but my son thought it tasted better than supermarket radishes.
I need to pick your brains again on this one. I think it is pretty and I love the unusual leaves. It cost me 50p from the allotment plant sale. Can you tell me what it is?
Alfie enjoys checking out how much everything is growing. He usually likes to get a much closer view- from right in the middle of the bed, where he gets tangled in the netting!!

Aw it all looks really lovely - that little radish is so cute! Home-grown always tastes better.
ReplyDeleteNo clue about your mystery plant, sorry - I'm so not a gardener. I can tell you though that strawberries don't usually need any encouragement - I had them once and they went rampant, despite my lack of green fingers!
Not sure about the mystery plant, but it might be a fancy-leaf pelagonium? Alfie is lovely!
ReplyDeleteGoing to Google "pelagonium", Erika:)
