Vegetables: tomatoes (Super Marmande, Larissa, Ailsa Craig). basil (Genoa), hot peppers (Cayenne), shelling beans (Borlotto), scallions and radishes. Herbs: oregano, rosemary, catnip. marjoram. The tomatoes are up about 4 - 5 inches now, will set them out May 1st. The others are smaller, will wait a bit ....

Annuals: zinnias, tithonia. Also put in a bunch of summer bulbs: acidanthera and hardy gladiolus. They are finally coming up!!

Wow! You are a green-fingered bunch! I have two house-plants:Emily and Sprout and I can just about keep them alive! I had some nice pot plants on my roof terrace at my old house but we don't have any outside space here which I really miss.

BM, was that one of those assorted flower seed packets? I did one of those a few years back when the City put in a new tree in the tree box and they were spectacular!
Think I have a pic somewhere.....
