Jacqueline's Rhubarb Patch garden

Created on Monday, 03 Dec 07

This is a piece of garden that is in front of some house windows that receive morning sun.

Various perennial and annual plants have grown here, but it tends to be a piece of this and a bit of that, just because it is a nice sheltered area to get plants going. I now have pots ready to stick in the bits of twig off herbs that I don’t throw into the pot.

The garden grew from plants that neighbours and friends gave me, which I remove to plant things which I can grow and eat. So I have few indoor plants that are happy to grow here, herbs, flowers, and some vegetables, such as tomatoes (self sown) and rhubarb.

The rhubarb is doing so well, I think I will give it over to the rhubarb as apart from the snails and caterpillars it is pretty easy to look after. Also, rhubarb harvested directly from the garden is yummy.
