I would class my gardening skills as 'emergent'. I am very much enjoying the new found experience of planting things and watching them grow 😊

Yours is looking great. Mine is doing well in the greenhouse. I lost one the previous year, trying to keep it going indoors

This has loved the kitchen windowsill, but has completely taken it over (novel alternative to curtains I suppose!) I *want* it to live outdoors, but it's not going to happen :)

Under the threat of death by exposure, this has decided to toughen up :) - it’s grown loads and now is far too nice to force outside to be an annual

Looking good (inside...next year it can go out, and stay out, Spartan style. Too fussy for me 😂)

Thanks Angie @angiecrazycatlady, I love the way it looks - shame it’s frost tender tho (I’m going to experiment next yr and see if there’s a way to keep it going outside, somewhere sheltered)

I'm doing that this year, I've got a few plants huddled together under a garden table in the corner, I've got my fingers crossed 😊
