My garden.

Early this year, my next door neighbours bought a new oil tank for their central heating and the man who installed it cut the old one in half , long ways. (Making two sort of boat shapes) I took possession of one half and after cleaning it, filled it with lovely compost from our heap. I chucked in a few bags of potting compost from a garden centre to make up the level as it settled. I planted it with four potatoes, three purple sprouting plants, three or four peas, three broad beans, two runners, welsh onions (one clump) a dozen shallots and one strawberry. And a row of carrots!
And a Borage plant! Everything has grown like Jack's beanstalk. The soil was TOO rich really, the shallots almost bolted , the borage and broad beans are around six or seven feet tall! Next year, I'm growing blueberries, blackcurrants, (already planted where the potatoes were) and rhubarb. Goodness knows what heights they will reach! I have three tomato plants in our tiny greenhouse
with several toms. on them . Whether they will ripen before winter, remains to be seen! Wales is an awful place to grow vegetables unless you know what you are doing. Good fun though.

Can you see his face? Took this with a polarizer.

Borage

The Roman soldiers used to put this in their wine which they drank before going into battle. Made them fearless. This plant would normally grow to a height of two feet but in my "garden" which I will describe later, this one has reached five feet four inches! So far!My three broad bean plants are at least five feet eight inches tall!
