Title: Over wintered plants, yummee!
Post by: Bjerreby on April 12, 2009, 14:24:58
As much as I take delight in sowing at this time of year, I think it is nice to enjoy the plants sown last September. Here are a few of mine that survived 10 degrees of frost....


Curly leaf parsley...

I agree. :all mine were plug plants bought of ebay because i got my plot to late in the year to sow anything.

This was picked 30 mins ago and proudly showed of by my 8yr old Alfie.
