6: Rhubarb; rhubarb

Him Outdoors says the rhubarb in our garden has gone bananas, which would clearly be a botanical miracle. Okay, so it hasn't started producing curvy yellow fruit, but I have managed not to kill it, which (with my plant track record) is an almost bigger miracle.

Week Nine: Gardening update

We are going to have lots of lovely lemons - look at all this flower and bud action on our tree!

A few months ago the Mischievous Minx sent me a cryptic text saying, 'Rhubarb at Mitre 10'. It is now flourishing in the garden with broad leaves and blushing tips.

Mint and rosemary are also putting on a fine showing.

I am proudest of all of these teeny tiny tomatoes, grown from plants given to me by the Bad Fairy.

Of course, everything is overseen by Lord Chester, the gardening cat. Oh yes, he is so helpful!
