Has anyone planted a decorative garden only with edibles?
I usually get a few sunflowers come up in the veg area, but nothing really edible, lots of datura.

any tips for rain and outdoor plants in containers ?
A bamboo cane cut into short lengths also works well, using three in a triangle or four in a square. Easily hidden and reused or replaced.

Ice Plants in hanging pots?
I have grown Aptenia, very small flowers for me, but if you like the foliage then you get a lot of that.I notice there is a variegated variety.

Latest moan from you and me 2026
A bus stop near me has been painted, well there is quite a large pothole and this has been painted over. Instead of the words bus stop it should read large pothole.

Just finished this cot blanket with a Popcorn stitch edging, in time to go in the McMillan box. All our efforts get taken to somewhere in Devon for sale. Last year we made over £4,000.
