Comfrey looks sad in its bucket but still flowering

The comfrey is starting to come out in flower, although I would not describe it as a happy looking plant in the bucket


The goji bush is very slowly growing. If that ever gets over watered it doesnt look happy but although slow it is growing. I do need to put it in a larger bucket soon


the rocket and parlsey are growing very well. The rocket plant is 2years old this being it second summer, it is very peppery but very nice to eat



To say we have had quite a bit of wet weather over the last week, I noticed my tubs were really dry tonight (they got a good watering) specifically the plum trees and gooseberry/currant bushes

Weather report - Sunny all day and generally really nice, Wakefield, England

Rocket is rocketing and the parsley is curling

My small rocket plant has over wintered nicely and so has the curly parsley. I have them both planted next to each other in a fairly shady place and they seem to do great. The rocket does not bolt and the parsley keeps coming back

Curly Parsley, small but showing potential




This is the Rocket and it tastes nice and peppery. Which is great.


The Jeruselum Artichokes are going from strength to strength, I left last years harvest in the ground and there is no holding it back this year


and my redcurrent Jonkheer van tets , the fruit is starting to appear ... although there isnt a lot of it
