Re: Your gardens

Those photos are great, I never thought of seed rocket, excellent idea. Beyond part of my garden is a huge patch of nettles and it was that direction the PT's were flying towards yesterday maybe the females are going to lay their eggs there. I don't think you need a photo of a patch of nettles :? I'...
