Free Plants

Really happy this evening from a plant point of view. I have acquired a gourd plant and a pumpkin plant from Freegle. Which is great. Not sure which is which! and I have never grown gourd before, so it should be fun to see what I end up with. I love growing new plants


My Chives have started to blossom too. I have 3 groupings. I will let 1 blossom for the bees but the other two I will nip for flowers out


My chard has weathered well through the winter too and it looks like I might be having some chard to eat soon. This plant is growing at the base of my Denistons superb plum tree in a pot
