# Mmmm wet garlic.
I'm limited spacewise. So all I have is spinach, chillies, grpaes, herbs, radishes, asparragus and rocket going in today.

Bought it two years ago and it died off. Came back next year and managed to get three shoots to about 4 foot and this years is making a break for freedom.

# ours was in a large pot last year
but is in the ground this year and was well trimmed back. The shoots and leaves are looking very strong. It is in a great position too.

# Mine right in the sunniest corner.
After it doed off I tried putting BBQ ash there as I know that they like acidic soil.
I really recommend it. It rocketed up afterward.

# Rocket = pointy veg
Blergh to rocket.

Some animal or other has attacked my marrow plants. Not best pleased. 2 out of three rhubarb plants are on the go but it's only their first year so not really worried about them. Toms, runner beans and strawbs going great guns. Spinach and lettuce, not so much :O(

# bumma
My strawberries are going rampant. I'm going to have to put some beer traps gown as it looks like I'm going to have a bumper crop but I've already seen some snail trails.

# Nicely. I didn't expect all of my seeds to germinate, and they did, the cheeky things.
I now have a very crowded kitchen and balcony.

# I did love the HFW Spring series.
as it did really show people that they had no excuse for not growing stuff if they had no garden.
The whole C4 food fight thing was good too as it highlighted a lot of my beliefs.
