    I have sown the salad/spinach hoping we have had the last cold night with danger of frost. I then planted my Echinacea which I had sown in August and made now a real attempt to grow. Finally, I planted two of the grasses that I bought and which started growing an inch a day. Took me 2 hours.

    Someone told me rhubarb was expensive but I've never looked as it pretty much grows wild down our allotment. 90% of what I pick is given to others, now I know why:)

    Plants you don't grow

    I used to have a Sumac tree in a previous garden. I did actually like it but it certainly likes to travel !! Not ideal for the average garden but makes an impressive roadside avenue.
