    Mysterious plant or fungus

    I've seen many a slug being munched by a hedgehog, they sound surprisingly crunchy.

    Help With Growing Seeds

    I think you end up with stronger plants by overwintering, maybe just my thinking, long time since I've grown them. Tbh.Fox gloves and wallflowers are a bit tougher IMO.

    Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?

    Sunflower seeds make quite nice microgreens, I used ones for birdseed, much cheaper! Batchelors dried peas are the best for pea shoots.
