Re: Photo diary - my veggie plot


Oh yes Argos have got them I also like the idea that you can do flowers and veg without disturbing the seeds

I think that will have to be one for my Xmas present list

True. I still find myself out of places to plant things, though. Scottish winter not killing off nearly enough. Possibly because I pick the ones that are hardy, tend to survive my treatment of them as well...

I wish I might eventually have a plot to grow plants that look as happy and healthy as those, Emma.
