What a haul!
*applauds*
We're being battered by high winds and my fruit trees are suffering.
All the raised expectations from the fabulous blossom period have been wrecked.
The ground in my garden is carpeted in almost fully formed morello cherries.

That looks beautiful! Very lush and verdant.
Has most of that been grown under lamp GG?
Can you annotate your pic?
I'll see if I can hack something together.
It's about 70 percent indoor raised (plus a week or so in the greenhouse), and 30 percent ornamentals raised from corms and tubers I planted over Easter
I have sown nothing outdoors or in the greenhouse so far this year. The Beans will be the first - and the beetroot and carrots in the salad bed once I get a proper cover sorted out.
At the moment my cupboard has the best part of 90 plants in it and I suppose I'm taking 15 plants outdoors every week. There are a lot of ornamentals - nicotiana, heliotrope, verbena bonariensis, and I'm raising caulis and corn for my brother.
Hopefully next year I will be better organised and get stuff sown and out sooner, but I started late. I sowed my Tomatoes, peppers and Aubergines on the 2nd of April.
nicotiana, amaranthus, atriplex,
Yeah, I know, you're right
I'm really just sulking at the cost of the pots - 7.99 for just one big pot
penni, do you have enough room for angelica? I grew some once in a relatively small garden I had an angelica forest
We had to fight through the angelica to get to the potatoes. I dunno why I thought it was a small plant ... perhaps cos of the small candied stems in little tubs
I might try that - my garden is huge and mostly uncultivated or covered with large clumps of fuschia and rosa rugosa.
It has to be tough here tho, we get a lot of gales and seaspray.
I actually once grew an angelica because I'd seen an enormous one at the Malvern show.
I generally speaking go for big plants.
It was going to be Giant Hogweed - the umbels are like champagne glasses - I even harvested some seeds in the wild and germinated them...
I eventually boiled a lot of it up in syrup, but I could never tell whether the white fuzzy stuff was sugar or mould. It certainly tasted funny - still got it in the kitchen 8 years on ...
The gargantuan green pot- is that the new expensive one?
Next time, you could try a rubble sack with a few holes.
Whats the view from your roof like?
Ooo, maybe you could try and get hold of some seacoast angelica?
