Being outside and enjoying the beautiful plants and flowers that are about is definitely something that's keeping me going at the moment, so I thought it might be nice to grow our own garden here where we can all enjoy it.
Please add any pictures, links, chats about anything you're enjoying in your garden, have found on a walk, wish you had in your garden etc. Or just enjoy wandering around 🙂

Hello everyone in the community garden 🙂
I am a little excited as my green thumb is more of a brown thumb 
However I am having great success this summer with our passionfruit vine, lettuce, dill, parsley and mint! Boy that mint has grown about 20 times its original size.
Does anyone have any brilliant ideas what I can do with so much mint? I pop it in smoothies with orange, pineapple, apple etc and its delicious but that's only a few leaves at a time. If you have any ideas please share them with me 🙂

Why thank you @Shaz51 🙂
Oh my, look at your lemongrass! Clearly it's enjoying all the rain. Do you use it some how @Shaz51?

@Former-Member
chop it up in a salad, use it in tea, make a pesto dip with it, add it to a warm bath - it is meant to help relieve stress, can make a mint essential oil also

Only lemongrass tea @Former-Member, but I think i need to find other ways to use it , I think it is running away from me

Yes it is @Shaz51 I think I can see it has its running shoes on!
@Former-Member thank you for all of those wonderful suggestions, I'm so excited as I've never had much luck growing things before. I'll let you know how I go. Popping some in a salad tonight for sure- don't know why i hadnt thought of that one myself
