Very impressed with your fish tank/ hydroponics set up Albus_Scope 👍 I've grown those little summer squash before and little Kuri squash as well as courgette. There was a lot of plant for just a few veg 😂 But I was picking and eating the flowers, (lightly battered and fried.)👍
I've thrown down lots of mooli radish seeds earlier this year in an attempt to help break up all the clay soil in preparation for next year when hopefully I'll be able to perhaps do a bit more growing 👍 Got to be strict this year though so I don't get frustrated with not being able to keep up with the plants !

Oooh, now that sounds delicious @onedayatatime I've seen people eating them on a few cooking shows. What do they taste like? I'm tempted to try our meganolia flowers if the little plant my sister just bought blooms this year.
Ah I didn't know radish was good for clay soil, I may have to look into that myself! I totally get what you mean with the frustration. The mind is willing, but the body is weak as the saying goes. I'm terrible for ordering tonnes of seeds, then being too tired to actually harvest anything.Albus (he/him)

Aldi also have some good garden stuff got me eye on some trellises coming out soon for about 7 quid

Home Bargains isn't bad for things like compost and small gardening tools;we buy most of our plants from the small nursery just down the road from us.
Morrisons usually have a good selection too. -
One of our azaleas bloomed while we were away.

That looks gorgeous @teigr and the doggy

It's literally bending under the weight of all the flowers @Sandy_123 and it's been the same since I planted it almost twenty years' ago.

Gosh, that's a lot of flowers @Teigr! And such a bright colour. Looks great!Rosie (she/her)

I've just had a delivery of lots of carnivorous plant soil, so I can hopefully repot some of my baby Venus flytraps, sundew and pitcher plants in my raised bog garden. That'll keep the flies at bay this summer!

I've just noticed the rhubarb has a bunch of flowers on I need to pull off or it stops it from growing

I love blueberries and would love to grow my own , we bought a small polytunnel with the intention of growing own veg etc, but haven't got round to it . I saw some blueberry bushes in B&Q , wondering how they would produce if in a polytunnel. We have a really sunny garden it has sunshine during summer all day .
-
I'm not sure about how well they'd grow in a polytunnel @stay_positive but by the sounds of things, you wouldn't need one in your garden, they'd love all that sun!Albus (he/him)

finding it great way to reduce my anxiety - now have update photos to share as all vegetables planted and the cherry tree just coming into blossom. And of course some work still to do but patience is a virtue.ps.the green netting is upcycling of log bags used for winter-saving even more money 😁 -
Looking good @martymart

We grew blueberries for a while @stay_positive,we only had one little bush so we never got much of a crop but they were easy enough to grow.
