    Hi Rob thats a healthy looking pansy, try saving some seeds, if you plant them next year you will probably find they will be a different colour they will take on the colour of their parents, an interesting experiment for you,by all means show us your other pictures.

    Hi Rob. They look great! I wanted some black pansies but ended up with the multicoloured sort as I didn't want too many of the same colour. Of course we'd like to see your other pictures! Show off your hard work!! [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Hi! thanks Walnut & Sarah999 (good idea about the little experiment). The strawberries are from my nen and are about 3 yrs old, does anyone know why they're getting no flowers/fruit?
    Mum said we have to keep the mint in a pot or it will overtake the garden.
    here are the pics...

    Beki/Rob are the strawberries getting enough sun were you have them, they look like a very small variety are they alpine strawberries?Mum is right about the mint it can be very invasive.

    Hi Rob, The pansies are great. A word about mint. I grow mine in a pot as well. Every few years it is awful, just a few wisps. Now I don't know if that is just the mint I am growing (perhaps someone else does). But if it happens to you, don't worry. The next year it is fine and bushy again.

    Lovely looking plants there Rob, you have done really well [​IMG]

    Mum's right (when our we ever wrong girls?)mint is a bit of a thug and will soon out grow and beat-up your other plants so to speak, so it's always best to keep them in pots it makes them behave! :D

    Anymore pictures for us to look out?
