Inspired at home

I thought I would have a go at growing some plants at home, if only to keep a better eye on them and have at least something to eat this year! The grow bags were a bargain from Homebase (£2.50 on a 15% off day) and in them are tomatoes, kale, pepper and chillies. There are four bean plants on the right, either side of two sunflowers which are doing really well, bless them (my son planted them at a friends house ages ago). This is my front garden, which faces South-East. I also have a pot with three tomato plants in my back garden, which are flowering at the moment.

While my back was turned..

Slugs ate all my courgettes, sob. That straw mulch was a mistake! Let's see the if peas my kind neighbour gave me fare any better. 

Ugh. Where did they come from?
