    Yeah.... but they were started off in my conservatory in January ;) it's very sunny and then the flowers came out early which I put out in the back as I have a bumble bee nest.... I was a little lucky :) I was also very lucky and had spinach and lettuce in feb :)

    Perhaps more than a bit lucky!
    I think my south facing living room will end up with more than chilli's and peppers next year. OH wont be happy :p

    It's such a good way to do it. All my plants got started like that. In fact I had seedlings far too quickly and some had to sadly be resigned to the compost :*(. I have a window seat so they all ended up there. I have parsnips almost ready to harvest too which is insane! I am a bit of a bung it in and hope for the best person. A few things failed but I am redoing them now and hopefully they will be ok!

    DH and I went for our evening walk round our local area lastnight, and happened to walk past a garden absolutely brimming with all kinds of roses. Couldn't help but have a good ol' sniff as I walked past (as you do :o) and oh my days, the best smell in the world isn't it?!! :D

    Ahh yes, nature carries on in spite of us, or as in the case of weeds, to spite us.

    Me too Zara! Though I'm not sure when to harvest them! I remember them being bigger than mine are so may leave them on a little longer to ripen. Mine today- I have flowers on my tomatoes :)
