Can you tell me where I can purchase Stenu (HDRA heirloom variety) climbing pea seeds?

Thank you in anticipation.

Your vegetable plot looks great, a busy time when all the good healthy food is grown. Your chair near the rhubarb is a must have to listen to the veggies grow and I agree with you well grown vegetables are are very ornamental. My husband grows the vegetables but I think he is to regimental. He delivers so I can’t complain. (I have tried to smuggle in the odd Nasturtium or Calendula!) I have tried many times to grow rhubarbs, they start well and then collapse. Always small plants are sold at the nurseries, and I try again, sometimes I never learn!

I love the wigwams, they add a structural elegance to the plot.

I can honestly say I have never seen a potato flower ! This is really pretty .. I don’t know what I expected but not such a nice one as this. I have grown scarlet runners .. more for the foliage and bright red flower .. I can’t remember if we ate the beans .. good heavens ? .. I don’t have room to grow pumpkins .. now that is what I would really love to watch .. a great BIG pumpkin. I do have a grape tomato plant in with a yellow sweet pepper in the same pot .. probably not a good idea right ? .. that is me … squeezing plants together once again .. haha

Interesting to see which vegetables are attractive too. My current project is to try and create a Potager, so how plants look is important to me, although taste is the most important. The Potato flower is pretty.
