Nature makes some beautiful things. I still find it amazing that six weeks ago this little lot were seeds in a packet. They’ve had to put up with some snail munching along the way, but they’ve finally made it to my plate, yum yum.

This is for my pal Alison and anyone else who has a small area of mud that they’d like to fill with some lovely plants. I’m not a garden designer, but I know about colour and a bit about plants and this (in my eyes at least) is a great combination.
Good luck with it Ali. I might sound like a Gardener’s World Geek (another guilty pleasure) but you might also want some things that stay green all year round too, a Euphorbia is a trusty perennial with bold lime green flower heads and maybe a fragrant evergreen climber, perhaps a star jasmine or honeysuckle. Oh and bulbs, sorry this is turning into a big shopping spree, maybe some ‘purple sensation’ alliums and some ‘spring green’ tulips.
