I grew them in a 3 foot by 3 foot cardboard box on the ground and as the spuds grew i covered them with compost.thats it.very easy.I dont like to dig .
The Lupins (most sown from seed this year) but 2 from previous years
2. The other set of Nasturtiums under the apple tree
3. Caster Oil plant (given to us by a friend) planted out 1st July 13
Lettuces (bottom of pic 3) used as space fillers in early June 'Sweetheart' (Cos) and 'Lollo Rossa' (bottom right) make an attractive border in the 1st new raised bed.
Sunflowers are begining to take centre stage in my garden. I sowed three different varieties - Mongolian Giant, Valentine and some unknown seeds kindly supplied by Lilylouise....

Netherfield...looks amazing!
KEF, if you mean the pink fluffy one on the right under the leaf, it's Spirea Douglasii, quite a vigorous shrub, spreads by suckers.
What did you do when your brain was in gear to make your pictures enlarge?
Lovely pics, everyone. Love the colour of little-ann's blue clematis in the middle.

great pics flowing fast today!
John - so jealous, my lupins finished ages ago and were quite short lived. Does the castor oil have a flower on it?
Leadfarmer - def must try sunflowers next year, kids grow em so I should be ok ...
John what lovely pix- your garden always looks beautiful. I hope you're getting time to enjoy it and not just working in it!
I have some smaller sunflowers about to bloom called 'Black Magic' which I'm looking forward to seeing. Last time I sowed them the rabbits had them
My Etoile Violette' flowered today while I was at work so that was a nice present to come home to:
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks Addict regarding pink thing..out it comes.
