What you got growing?

[Magpie]

Much to the dismay of my Granda, my garden is not overflowing with fruit and vegetables but is quite abundant with plants and flowers, very few of which are edible. The garden is still in the early process of being developed as it is only three years old now and before that it was a dismal council backyard covered in small grey unattractive stones that only councils far and wide seem to be able to lay their hands on.

I did at one point have strawberries and was so pleased to be able to inform my Granda that I was growing food only for him to inform me that I should "Get rid of them Son, they're a bloody nightmare." He was right... they started taking over and appearing in random places several feet away from where the original plant was.

How about some Lupins...

There's plenty of them and lilies, lavender, poppies, Rhodondendron, heather and loads of other stuff whose names I am not totally certain of. Ahh!! and mint as well, peppermint, spearmint...
And Lazarus the log...

who was cruelly cut down in his prime by the local council workers and then salvaged by me to become part of a path I was making and then miraculously after being seemingly dead for a year and a half decided to wake up last spring and be a tree again...
I'm currently making him a set of wheels so we can go for walks and spread the good news to all the other trees that he used to hang about with.

I should go now because I was just in the garden before with my digitalis fiddling around in the foxgloves and there's a numbness a creeping up through my hands.
