    Radishes, Roses, rhubarb, raspberries, rosemary,
    Rudbeckia.

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

        All the more suggestions the merrier
        When we reach Z and I've finalised my selections, I'll post what has made it into the envelope for next month.
        I won't be moving established trees and bushes but, new plants will go in their proper letter (as long as the conditions are right for it to grow there).

                                Edit: I wasn't copying SP, honestly. You beat me to it.
                                This bed has a plum tree, primroses and tulips.
                                Struggling with this one as I can't stand JA's, maybe Jap pumpkin (Kabocha), Jasmine, Jacob's Ladder and a Jostaberry cutting!

                                Thanks both.
