Plantings

On the left are the fuschia cuttings I took, out of the six I got four growing and all now have been planted in the garden.

On the right are the wigelia cuttings, they have been slower but are still getting there.
 The big bush on the left is my potato planter, actually a plastic bag with 5 spuds in it.. they are just about to flower so hoping for some homegrown tatties soon. Just need to find out when to harvest them.

The last planter, also another plastic bag, contains runner beans. This year decided to try this method as the dogs sometimes run riot in the garden, but have a cunning plan for next year involving raised beds which will also improve the soil as underneath the grass it is very poor and contains lots of stones.
