Cock-a-hoop!
Not generally a boastful person, but I've been taking stock this weekend of my first year of gardening, and just really want to share my delight with people who get it 😉
Starting from scratch, I've had success or partial success with 13 different edibles (including aubergines, if you please!), over 50 flowers, shrubs and grasses and only 4 conspicuous fails!
Aware that I'm standing on the shoulders of giants here, particularly all you fabulous Forumeers, my lovely OH and, of course, Nature herself, but I might take a wee bit of credit myself ☺️
Can't wait for next year! Cheers 🥂

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Lovely sweet peas - are those creamy purple ones 'High Scent'?
Well done in what has been a very tricky year for many gardeners .... and good luck for next year.
