thanks, the canes are in quite deep so should be ok I think (hope!) it was very windy the day after we put them in and they held up ok,

Yep, but that was before a whole load of bean leaves doing a "I'm trying to be a kite" impression.

Hi well now I've finally sussed out how to put a picture on, here is my very poor attempt this year, plot not planned as I wanted as due to health hic-cups I was late starting and dh was eyeing up the plot for another flower bed! So things just got hurriedly put in to stake my claim, big problem this year is SLUGS! all the flowers are lovely but my poor patch is under constant attack.

Well done huxley - there's lots going on in such a small space! I'm always making ad-hoc additions to my little plot by adding pots and plants here and there as I acquire them, planned or not! Order can be nice, but I quite like the sponateous touches!

Your plot looks very lush and green, despite attacks from local gastropods! We have lots of slugs, and snails too. After trying several remedies suggested on here I have plumped for the animal-friendly blue pellets from Growing Success. They last OK when it rains and are around £4 for quite a big container.

Good luck with your plot and happy harvesting!!:D

Well done everyone for posting up the photos, there is no stopping you all now!! :T :j

I love this thread, I have always grown some amount of veg, we did have allotments but they weren't within walking distance and what with one thing and another they had to go:o but then i just altered the garden and that was fine until........ dh became unemployed and became a s/e gardener and went from I need a place to sit in the sun to flowers flowers and more flowers it does look nice but, well these will show you what I'm up against and out of sight there are some other plants he's bought home that he is looking to home in the garden, (not in my veg bed:mad: ) and I need help from you clever lovely people my cherry tree is not looking well, all of a sudden leaves have started to curl and seem to have lots of black eggs on the underside of the leaves
