So fresh and crispy looking!

Doing well! :-)

This looks really colourful.

They certainly look great.

I like the plant. People here have them in the garden in the ground and they grow very tall bushes. They come in many different colours. I had one too, but it died, don't know why. Perhaps too much water or too much shade? I think they really love sunshine.

So...when you have pulled up all the weeds you'll pull up the throttle and take off! Great little plane.

If you have too many do you bottle them then?

Nice and healthy looking plant. And the beet is so good to eat too.

Fantastic! Beautifully set up and very scientific. Tomatoes will be yummy. Lots of work there.

Hope you had a wonderful crop this year : )

I always plant marigolds in with my veggies & you are right - it really helps!

Wow! Have to try the epsom salts...

Nice greenhouse you have. Things have a great start & are looking healthy!

Thanks Ken . I'll have to do that next year.

Really great looking, you say you feed every other day... with what?

Is this how you drown your sorrows when its raining?

Hi Ken, thanks for the info, I remember some time being told to remove all leaves after fruits start, done it this year and have a great crop coming, even though my dad thought I was a bit mad doing so.

My, my, how lovely. You are a busy man.

Wow! I asked for information and I got it! (Sweet Woodruff) Thank you very much Ken. I'm thinking of planting it in an arched area by our shed (pics on my profile) between vybernums. Is it an aggressive ground cover, will it want to rule the world, or is it workable as long as I incorporate a restraining border (bricks?)

Your garden is lovely, don't see that you could possibly make any improvements ! It looks very professionally done.

Love the way you made use of every strip of soil you had and planted it up into a fantastic looking flower border.

Looks like you've thought of everything !..lol. Great job !

Wow! I am truly humbled. I follow the same routine of Epsom salts and feed but the most any of my plants have now is 8. You are a true master!

40?! You know what you are doing!

Wow, sounds amazing.
Hope it works well,
look forward to seeing the photos :-)

I'm a great fan of Coleus, too. I'm finding that mine are really slow-growing this year, though. A work colleague last year said to me, disdainfully, "Don't tell me that you grow Fish 'n Chip Shop plants". This actually made me laugh, because she was right. I remember that, when I was a kid, any such place worth its salt (excuse the non-intended pun) did proudly display one or more of these. This is also the very first plant I grew from seed at school during a "Plants" project. My mum's windowsills, tables, etc. ended up laden with them, as I'd just cut bits off and re-root them in jars/cups of water.

I want to print this off and eat it!

Pass the salad dressing, please!

Lovely idea - I bet passers-by like to take a look at it, Ken.

Mine is clover, some grass and more clover... not like yours, Ken!
