  • B is for Blueberries, Borage, Beetroot and Begonias

    A little game challenge for you!
    Imagine you have 26 garden beds and each bed is to be planted with a fruit, a herb, a vegetable and a flower, all with the same initial letter.
    They must grow in the UK so no Bolivian bananas accepted

    Don't wait until you've done all 26 letters, post each Letter as you do it .
