It's a fun site. I've added it to my favorites. I may even send them in a photo or two. The guy in the upstairs flat was admiring what I'd done with the garden, and said he thought some red hot pokers would look great. Yesterday I got 6 roots for £1, and planted them in a BIG pot, so I can move them around for best effect, if they grow that is. I've ben adding flowers to my fruit & veg, because they look pretty. I can rationalise it by saying they attract pollinators, but I like pretty flowers. My son chose some panseys yesterday just because they were called Frizzle Izzle, or something like that.
