More Planting and Potting

We've not had great success with our seeds, but some are on their way. We have a cunning plan of growing squash on vines where the jasmine used to live. Large pots have been bought and squash transplanted (with a courgette for luck). Once the vines are long enough, we'll pop the pots behind the hedge and hope to get a hanging garden effect. I thought the pots would allow our plastic cloches to sit inside but they are a couple of cm too big. Elephant tape has since been deployed. We've also planted some ancient sweet peas where the jasmine lived in the hope of some one-off Summer colour.
