Here are the interlopers – only we want to make them feel welcome- so adding their pics to the family album seems only proper.
Basil and Marigold don’t quite come dressed in the gilt buttoned, navy blazer and canary yellow twin-set and pearls their names might suggest. In fact they look pretty much like all other seedlings but seeing them come up makes me realise I can now proudly say that I think I could identify tomato in a seedling ID parade.
I need to give a boost to girl power and swell Marigold’s ranks. I don’t know what I was thinking; 3 seeds = 3 plants. Which would make the world’s most pathetic bouquet, let alone pack the punch needed to make a go of Companion Planting !
