I've got honeysuckle growing happily on a North facing wall - mine isn't evergreen, but I know you can get an evergreen form from a post of LoL's...
Peppermint tea from the garden is lovely. Ordinary garden mint isn't as nice IMO. Just pick a sprig of maybe 4 - 6 leaves, give it a quick rinse...
Ooops - hit quote instead of edit, sorry guys...
If you grew a grape vine, perhaps you could get a little wine? Sorry, that's as close as I can get... :DHard to say a favourite, but I...

They are nice peeled, specially in salads. If I bother peeling them then I usually eat the skins separately - but generally I can't be bothered...
Your garden may be small Johnny but i'd say it's perfectly formed - or at least, looks like it's coming along very nicely. Mine's similar in width...
Think I read somewhere that they have to be kept in a transparent pot, so light can get to the roots... is that true, does anyone know?

I think i'd be inclined to plant a courgette there too, depending on what else you are growing there (e.g. I'd plant so long as whatever else was...
Odd, given that I live not far from there and I'm reliably informed that it's one of the driest parts of the country! Maybe he should emigrate to...
I had chrysanthemum tea once.... Growing calendula and nasturtiums this year so I will try the flowers and let you know, when they have some!
