At the mo I could do with twice the space in the polytunnel but it will resolve over the next week or so as a lot of stuff progresses to outside.

So, not great photographic examples, but to give you an idea of how the jungle is getting on.

the 'yellow' basket

A pretty basket (which could go out now, but it gets in the way of the wisteria, so has to wait!)

A tub for M&D with petunia, lobelia and trailing yellow cherry tomatoes

wow those strawberries do look good!!!

Lovely seeing the pictures DM and interesting to see who well everything is growing, one of the slugs munched on my cucumber and killed it, luckily I have got another 3 planted out and I put some slug pellets around them last night!.

Any photos of the wisteria??

You'll need a machete, soon... :-) It's all comming on so well.

Pretty and useful baskets! I like the combination of toms and flowers.

It all looks lovely DM I do envy you the polytunnel. They all look good I am sure the strawberries will taste as good as they look. Like the mix of toms in the hanging baskets.

it's not too late Yola but you'll need to buy plants rather than sow from seed. The nurseryman in our market has them - sure you'll be able to find some around. Pop them in a basket or tub, add some trailing lobelia et voila!

Emma - another couple of days for the wisteria. The flowers are growing but haven't loosened up yet.

Wow that looks lovely DM!

I've noticed I've got 3-4 rose buds getting ready to open on my rose in the tub, the Peruvian lilies are starting to shoot and some of our seedlings have really started growing well.

Wow - what a beautiful assortment & the tommys in the hanging basket! I love it :) I'm getting all excited about my gardening now. It's great fun & I can't believe I've never had any interest before. :) I have gone a bit wild & planted some
radishes,
corn on the cob,
spring onions
& of course beans & strawberries.
