We've made it out to the allotment couple of times recently, but not too often as it keeps on raining (hales today!).We have got one raised bed built - here's a picture of the bed, with Dee in the background sorting the top soil we're bringing down from the top part of the site, to get all the weeds out (so many of them!).
On the back right you can also see leeks we got from our allotment neighbours. This photo was taken about a week ago, these are now growing in the raised bed.
And inside we have loads of seedlings growing, protected by our Buddha! Here's some tomatoes, lettuce, basil and a flower seeds I brought from Finland and don't know the English name.
In Finnish it's Koynnoskrassi - any Finns reading this who knows what it is in English?. These ones grow like ivy going up and needing support - and they're getting fairly long already! I'd love to get them outside but am a bit worried it might still get too cold for them...
We have also some other herbs, courgette and leek seedlings growing, and potatoes.

It's nasturtium I think. Yellow, orange or red flowers, wide, circular leaves, you can eat the flowers and the leaves and they are a bit peppery??
Great, that's it! Thanks :)
Do you know anymore translations for plants? - I've got a herb called 'kesakynteli', but don't know that either in English!
