Home Grown Rocket... and Moss

This was the first of the rocket I grew this year, picked in July (it's a really peppery one, tastes great)! I've been sowing seeds in an old Belfast sink in the back garden - which also has a Wisteria in it - and it's grown well... but so has quite a lot of moss. I think the moss must have been present in some recycled earth I used to fill the sink originally because the drainage seems ok and it gets the sun. So I just picked the last growing rocket leaves and plants and removed the moss and a layer of soil. Topped it up with a soil and compost mix. Will see if that does the trick.

Latest Additions: Stand, Willow Planter and Spinach

 
Latest additions to the garden: a 1930s stand (need to treat the rust at some point) and a willow planter that fits perfectly - I love it when a plan comes together! It's getting late in the year but I've sown a few spinach seeds and hope to get some baby leaves at least.
