I didn't know feverfew looked like that.

It paid off-your potatoes look FAB! Isn't that always the way!<br />The lettuce that goes limp quickly, have you tried it in a recipe for wilted lettuce? Was that a 3 sisters garden you did with your corn?<br />Those mesh cages look wonderful. Years ago I saw a program on square-foot gardening that had been raised so that the wheelchair-bound person could garden from his chair. I thought that was the coolest thing I ever saw and swore if I were ever rich, I would have a garden just like that.<br />Now to figure out how to cage it.....<br />Lovely post-thanks for sharing!936000https://www.blogger.com/profile/05132867703170636584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-580814740772521808.post-83844031769412747432011-08-15T05:46:51.539+01:002011-08-15T05:46:51.539+01:00Well done Kim (except for your maize).

Last year I saved seed from the Butternuts and this year they have reverted to a longer, more marrow-like, shape. The taste is the same but they look different. Next year I shall sow F1 hybrid seed again.<br /><br />Beware your Bramley. I also have one here and it is HUGE. We are eating blackberry and apple crumbles almost every day.
