We’ve had any number of plants growing in our garden over the years. Some were brought in, and others dropped in themselves from goodness knows where… We may not have some of them any more – particularly the edible plants – but they are not forgotten. I thought it would be a good idea to list them out just to jog my memory of what thrived and what didn’t. Below are plants that have grown or are growing in our garden. Clicking on links will bring you to posts I’ve written about them.
