Re: The Veg Plot.
Huh, my photo skills are lacking on this forum. They show up for me but that could be a Google Photos issue.

Re: The Veg Plot.
I believe you need to use something like Flickr. And then post a BB code on here.
I've never tried direct from Google. 2021-07-02_07-45-15 by martin cockerell, on Flickr

Re: The Veg Plot.
On topic.
Loads of strawberries in my garden at the moment. Almost too many.

Re: The Veg Plot.
I'm growing a thistle. I didn't intend to grow one but it appeared next to my shed so I became curious as to how big it would grow. It's currently just over 3 feet with multiple flower heads (not yet in flower).
Each autumn I gather poppy seed heads and then sprinkle the seeds (hundreds, maybe thousands) where I'd like poppies to grow the following year, apparently they're not enthusiastic on this idea and refuse to show. I have a "stonebond" driveway which is little pebbles set in epoxy - this is where some of the poppies have decided will be perfect to grow despite the absence of soil.

Re: The Veg Plot.
We have some Greek Oregano doing the same thing in a patch of dry pebbles in our garden. It found it's way there from a plane pot 10 feet away.

Re: The Veg Plot.
Today I have mostly been digging mint out of a bed! Never, ever plant mint in anything other than a container!

Re: The Veg Plot.
You'll never get rid of it Gary. It will be back before long.

Re: The Veg Plot.
This is serious digging Adam, every last bit of the root is coming out. It's only a small bed, about 3yds x 3yds. I've been on it most of the day and I'm only just halfway across.

Re: The Veg Plot.
Tarragon is almost as bad, plus it's a fast growing thug that pushes everything else out of the light. Took me three years of relentless digging and weeding to finally stop it coming back. Good luck on your quest Gary.

I did that with Bluebells in our old house. They were back fairly soon just from the tiniest invisible amounts of root. We ended up having to dig all the soil out of the borders and replace it.
