Title: My kitchen garden
Post by: nigella121 on June 15, 2005, 16:54:47
Now things are really coming on.I do grow everything from veggies,fruits,herbs to flowers on my allotment,which I call "my kitchen garden".

Growing own veggies is great and there're veggies which not only taste good but also look beautiful.I'm trying to create an edible garden which is also pleasing to the eye. 

Does anyone out there practice companion planting?I don't know whether it works or not but I very much like the idea of growing different things together and it certainly attracts beneficial insects.

Hi Diesel & Moonbells

Keep up as I'll be watching your pages!

I made my comfrey tea a few weeks ago and it's stinking nicely!
