My normal thinking towards plants is ‘if you can’t eat it, I am not much interested’. Granted, this is just one end of my potting bench in the tunnel, but how many of these can you actually eat?
Now we have eaten various flowers in the past, nasturtiums for one, marigolds for another. We have made nettle soup too - I had some for my birthday a couple of years back (yes it was nice before you ask!). I really wonder though how many of these you can actually eat. Sunflowers? I doubt it and there sure won’t be enough for sunflower oil…
Livingston Daisy? Nope. Callendula - possibly. Rudbekia - no idea! At least there will be no shortage of flowers in the house garden. We bought some perennials last year and these are establishing nicely. Hopefully these annuals will impress all the dog walkers and passers by!
The Callendula and Rudbekia will need potting on very soon. They should then be at just the right stage for planting out at the end of May when all danger of a late frost has passed.
The right hand tray of Rudbekia, cucumbers, alpine strawberries and the Livingston Daisy belong to a good friend who is dabbling in gardening in the polytunnel with me having lost her greenhouse to may way for a very in keeping extension to their old cottage.
What I am impressed with though (apart from the progress of my seedlings) is the photo editing side of flickr. Flickr is where I host my photos for the blog and a couple of forums (fori?) and I only tonight ventured into the editing side of the website. Quite good don’t you think?
