Monday Cissy and I de-weeded the veg patches discovering a host of hidden salads choking in the pansies.

Nice little red berries climbing up the arches. I'd like to do a welding course and make some really sturdy arches myself.

Dark red nasturtium - by far the most beautiful of their species. The stems are small and the whole plant easier to control. It sits neat and I think looks more elegant around the centre pots.
