I think the best plants to grow are the ones you get to eat afterwards. Motivation to feed and grow them. Pets could be like that too.

Shh don't give the game away! And there's no illegal lasers either, not that I'd tell you. YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!!! *shoots lasers into sky, stumbles over uncleared up mess and gets one in the eye* Arrrrgh.

We used to have loads of strawberry plants in my parents garden. One year they went mad and gave fruit for ages. We actually managed to get a strawberry from them on xmas day.

My Mum gave me a corgette plant and 2 tomato plants and they're doing quite well at the moment.

We've had 2 tastey corgettes so far and a 3rd & 4th are currently growing.

The tomato plants are cherry toms. Lots of little green tomatoes starting to grow. Looking forward to picking them for salads and oven roasting and things

Oh, and my fennel took over the entire garden whilst I was away, so I've had to hack it back

Mmm, strawberries. Not sure if it's naughty or not but I just dug up a few wild strawberry plants and stuck them in the ground. I still prefer them to the farmed type - so much tastier.

Mine all died when I went away. I thoght that was it but they have sprouted back up again and two of them are flowering a second time. Probably too late to get any runners though
