My neighbours must've thought I was bonkers, it took me until midnight to plant out most of them into pots and grown bags. But now I've got my own supply of salad leaves, herbs, beetroot and spinach to last me the summer.

All I need is a few old frames from a junk shop to complete my display. <a href="http://www.livingetc.com/houses/Jamie_Theakstons_quirky_terraced_town_house_article_277610.html#showpic">(Click here to see Jamie's house at Livingetc.com)</a> <div><br /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9181975653723076684-4125659560649105930?l=emmalovesretro.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>emmalovesretrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16099494395008182323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181975653723076684.post-92072178483155135612009-04-05T14:47:00.000-07:002009-04-05T15:15:28.060-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J8GLiB121i0/SdktdZA_zqI/AAAAAAAAABk/WtVVF4gJ8UI/s1600-h/Challenger.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 280px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J8GLiB121i0/SdktdZA_zqI/AAAAAAAAABk/WtVVF4gJ8UI/s400/Challenger.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321334417669476002" /></a><br /><div><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:arial;">I've been in rummage mode this weekend.
