I will be out foraging this weekend

We have loads of dandelions in the front garden, but not many nettles, I need to see what I can get Jon to plant, I bought some plantain seeds from Hay Experts to grow in pots. Last year we put carrots in tubs, just for the tops rather than the roots Next door has a veggie patch in his back garden I think we need to follow suit

Could you post some pictures of the hawthorn please I need to start doing this, but I'm a bit nervous about picking the wrong things (hubby doesn't let me near the garden)

Tried to PM you pics, but your inbox is full :wave:

I wouldn't think so.

And it beats feeding sugary veg
