I was worried when torrential rain started – how would my boxes cope? Would they float away? Would they fill up and overflow? In fact they stood up to it very well, and the plants loved it.

The sage – front in the black pot on the right – didn’t like it much, but the rosemary and the parsley (in the red planter) are thriving.

I’ve got cabbage on the left, tomatoes in the middle and that’s a strawberry reaching out to climb up the fence.
So far, so good – I am very happy with my experiment so far – and no weeding!
