    domestic plant would probably be violets ,English marigold, poppy or agualigia .

    Mine could be anything I'm always finding surprise things growing a Fuchsia appeared this year then theres the usual Teasels, Poppies, nettles, agualigia, honeysuckle, laurel. too many to list.

    Veg plants would be Lettuce, Parsley, toms, radish and a climbing marrow/courgette that keeps popping up to surprise me.

      Things I have gained from nowhere are butterfly bush, forget me not, white selene, red valerian, purple toadflax, opium poppies, cottoneaster and juniper.

      The veggie culprits are toms, nasturiums, achocha, wild strawberry and strawberry spinach.

            In the garden aquilegia, lemon balm, creeping buttercup and dandelions.

            Sandier soil on the plot, so different list - bindweed, grasses, including couch, yellow clover, magenta spreen, bittercress, thistles and calendulas.

              In the garden, dandalions, nettles, robin run the hedge and scutch grass.

              Self seeding, violets, dahlias, polyanthus and plenty of toms.

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.

                Bindweed and rainbow chard....I say 'rainbow' but it's just the red and the white ones that have taken over the flower beds.

                I usually despise what they call art in the tate but this one is a wonderful concept....still not sure its art...but it is a lovely idea.
                Thanks Nicos!

                  Mainly bindweed, poppies and buttercups - oh and dandelions, lots of dandelions!

                    In our front garden it would be welsh poppies, aquilegia, willowherb, corydalis and watermint.

                    On the plot it would be docks, bindweed, horsetails, thistles, nipplewort, sow thistle, forget-me-not and a cabbage (apparently).
