Some pictures taken on my plot today. The flowers seem to do better than the veg this year.

Great plot, I love the mixture of veg and flowers, and the willow teepee is a fab shape for growing squash up. ;D ;D ;D

Hi Dandelion,

Watch out when the California poppies start going over, the seed pods explode and throw the seed everywhere - I had the devil's own job last year weeding the seedlings out of my barkchip paths!!

They do add a wonderful splash of colour though, so some have been allowed to stay.

Inspiring!

Lebanese White is one of the best.
