These are not veg pictures or allotment but hope you do not mind. Ina asked where I grow some of my stuff, there are pictures of my veg garden and allotment on my webshots site which I will add to soon and post here if I have time:
One of my fav plants, been growing them for about 7 years and these are about 6 foot tall:
Verbena Bonariensis

This is a superb plant for for this time of year, Toad Lilly. Thrives in shade and damp soil. Bueatiful small flowers. Very pleased with it:

And finally, an over all look at the bottom of my garden. The greenhouse is to the right of the shed who's roof you can just see at the bottom. Veg garden is the other side of the trees and allotment is a mile away.
This garden was taken in hand 7 years ago. The previous owner had no interest in gardening what so ever so all the beds are "new". The lawn was a mess and the hedges totally overgrown.

Hope you can see them all.

Hi Jerry, I just had a quick trip around your Farm, Garden and Allotments :o and was amazed, gob smacked more like, what a spread and so neat and tidy. You must be hiding a troop of little workers somewhere to cope with all that work. :)
Well done. ;)
Roy ;D

Many thanks for your comments. Luckily I can not take any credit for the farm, that is 100% down to my parents. One day it will be nice to live there but I wish them many years to enjoy it.
My garden/veg garden/allotment is 95% down to my effort with a little help from my wife and kids!
Jerry
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing Sanders, I really enjoyed seeing your wonderful pictures.
One thing is for sure, you are not a couch potato!
Wow Jerry
What a fab lottie farm and garden, even your driveway is pretty!
Where do you get the time?
