    Sounds great, are you planning on growing vegetables too?

    Just a little update on the garden, enjoying watching it come on slowly. 
    1st bed is potatoes and spring onions
    2nd bed is onions, beetroots and salad
    3rd bed is potatoes with radishes in between

    I think I may have to cover the radishes as something has started to eat them. Also anyone know what those purple flowers are? Prety sure they are weeds but they look lovely so I am going to keep them! :smiley:

    A favourite cottage garden plant ... a ‘good doer’ and goldfinches love the seedheads.

    Everyone is so knowledgeable on here, I'm amazed as I only know a few of the names of my plants in the garden (moved in in February this year) and whenever I post asking the name of a plant someone always knows, so helpful. Thanks for the info Annid :smile:

    Also the bees seem to love these which is good too!

    The leaves under the Centaurea Montana look like sycamore, dig it out it's too close to your greenhouse.
