| The rhubabrb is coming on well, and Mrs Lovell's Greengrocers kindly donated another rhubarb plant. You don;t harvest any rhubarb in the plants' first year however, and remember that the stalks are edible but the leaves are poisonous... |

| The central raised bed is currently a mixture of herbs and vegetables |
 |
| One of the two northernmost beds is a mixture of flowers and herbs. |
 |
| The northernmost bed feautures fruit, herbs, vegetables and flowers... |
 |
| A shot of herbs and flowers. Herbs in particular bring a very relaxing fragrance |
 |
| Some cabbages have been planted |
 |
| Curly leafed parsley. This is actually quite difficult to grow, but we'll have a go... |
 |
| Celery - again this has a very nice smell. |
 |
| Sprouts for Christmas! |
 |
| I've also planted some calabrese. Calabrese is what we often see described as broccoli. In actual fact it is Italian sprouting broccoli, which has a longer growing season. Broccoli is part of the brassica group of plants, which includes cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts... |
