Back to Basics Challenge

I'm a bit late with my Challenge post, it's more difficult to find blog time during term time.

Planting Now

I'm rapidly running out of space so all these things have been planted in quite small amounts - apart from the Broad beans because they are Hubby's favourite and his reward for all the labouring work he does for me.
