Do you have pics of your garden/plot on here somewhere, Penellype? I'd love to see.

[Penellype]

Plenty of pics on here in the calendar thread (I'll be taking some more at the weekend for August) and also here:

I don't have a plot and most of my garden is very shady, but I'm not letting that stop me!

I admire your dedication Pene.

[Penellype]

Thanks BM. I'm sure I have missed stuff off from time to time, but its an interesting exercise. I started doing this on 19th September last year (precisely because I wanted to get the hardest part out of the way first!), so there are only another 2 weeks to go and then I have done a full year . At that point I will retire gracefully from this challenge, which means I won't feel pressurized to sow quite so many things that I haven't got room for!

Full of admiration for you, Penellype.
Although I threw the ball into the air, you're the only one who caught it and ran with it to the end - much to my embarrassment as I should have been running with you.
I'll have to think of something a bit easier for next year
