Sorry to hear about your Mum  ....hope she's better soon....of course she has a good nurse to look after her......the garden will have to wait  When Mum is better and back on her feet....you can then concentrate on your garden;....of course there's no reason why you can't make plans and plot them out on paper, for when you are ready to get going....  Luckily mums managed to have her scan brought forward after getting slightly emotional on the phone, which i guess is a bonus, should find out what exactly is going on as it's an ultra sound scan, fingers crossed ! I've been thinking about maybe changing the little triangles of gravel to little triangles of planted flowers instead, but it's just wether the cats will go and mess it up ! although my cats just come out of an operation so is house bound ;D Definitely got lots of ideas it's just doing them ! You could make alittle gravel garden , im sure someone can recommend some plants for growing in gravel . |

Do you think when your pet tomato eventually ripens you will be able to eat it?  |

Not wishing to disappoint you, but one or two of your leaves look a bit blighty to me. If not blight, it may need a bit of fertiliser.
Keep an eye on those leaves.

Twiams, I have a gravel garden - so if you do decide to get one, I can tell you what thrives in mine. Of course there's the great Beth Chatto to refer to - the expert. You could borrow one of her books from the library. |

How is your Mum's foot Twiams? welllll .... just got back from the hospital who have now decided it wasn't what they thought at first (the ruptured tendon) it is a degenerative condition of her tendon. And that the cast wasn't necessary at all and if anything has made it worse as my mum now can't work properly as it's all stiff, so if she had the scan when she went up as she was supposed to everything would have been fine but thats the NHS for you so fortunately no more cast on her foot and alot less running around for me! Although my holiday for next week has been cancelled because i thought i wouldn't have been able to go  |
