Plants, for Bart

Swiss chard, about 8 inches high now:


And Greek Oregano, spilling out of its pot. I put some river stones in the pot last night, to shield the soil and keep it moist. But I found that I had to pull out runners from the oregano, which is sending out long stems across the pot. It's trying to bogart the areas belonging to the rosemary, thyme, and lemon verbena. Bad, oregano! Bad!

Excellent stuff - I'd love to have a garden big enough to grow useful things in...

We did the tomato plant thing a couple of years ago, but Tony doesn't eat them, and while I do eat them I'm slightly allergic to them, so most got given away. Now we just stick to pretty things in pots that can survive if we forget to water them for a few days at a stretch.
