I'm getting my head around all the other plants in the garden now that everything is coming to life again and we have some that are edible, which is a bonus.
I'm growing mallow, nasturtium, hollyhock, teasel, evening primrose, lavatera, petunia and nemesia too, which are all for the torts really, but make the garden look pretty as a bonus.
The seeds sown in their enclosures have all done well and as ever it's the sowthistle that does amazingly well, so they have large sowthistle plants to enjoy and I won't let anyone remove the prickly sowthistle as it soon rejuvenates once I've taken some leaves from it.
It's so nice to be able to give them more of a variety again and I'm looking forward to more flowers too, to give them a change from pansies.

I've got lavatera on my shopping list and evening primrose, also globe thistle, eringium ( sea holly) and echinacea , they are all safe to eat and look really pretty. Oh I nearly forgot, holly hock too, I don't know if I will fit all of that in !
