    “I will just pop in a few nasturtium seeds for extra colour “ not my best idea!

    Well, green IS a colour😉
    Look under the leaves. You may well find some nicely contrasting black 🐜

    There are flowers but hidden under the leaves, they are all coming out tomorrow. You are right by the way there are a lot of ants 🐜 under them.

    They usually get covered in black aphids. Or in my case last year, cabbage white caterpillars.
    my whole garden with the exception of one border, is all a GofS.

    I meant aphids but I could only find an ant emoji 😉

    Mine is looking like a threadbare, faded carpet. Not in a Persian rug sort of way either.

    Been away from the GoS a while, not doing much obvs! Do we have to reapply if we were members once?  I see some participants gave up their slovenly ways during lockdown.  Not me.  Look what I did ... or didn't do!  This is my front garden with a well-sited, abandoned heap of topsoil that prevents the "lawn" being mowed (phew!).  That really IS the spade I use - if I have to!  Note the dodgy handle facing the wrong way it needed screwing back in, in about 1985 but nobody could be bothered.

    Speaking of carpets, this one will come in right handy one day and so will the two lines of picket fence leaning nonchallently against the privet - reminds me, must get the trimmers out ...

    Well, at least it's safe. Nobody is likely to steal the spade.

    This one is probably a bit tidy but I thought I might promote an alternative use for cold frames since I don't use it for plants.
