I've spoken about my pots with herbs etc a number of times on this forum, so I thought I'd take a picture (or two) and show you what I'm talking about.

These are two of the pots I planted out on the weekend. There's cucumber, lettuce, bok choy, capsicum, eggplant, more lettuce, more tomatoes, squash and some more zucchini.

:jealous:

and lovely to hear/read the word verandah/veranda again ...last used by my grandparents in the UK in the 80s. I loved their veranda -attached to their loggia -another word I haven't heard in forever.

Ha! This year, I arranged my herbs according to the order in that song.

I like my verandah. On the front one I have a small couch, and on the back one there's a rocking chair.

Gardening is something I never used to like doing, but I find as I'm growing up it's something I really enjoy. Maybe you could try the pot thing rkz? at least the garden is then at about the right height for you to reach without too much trouble.

I believe RK has indeed "tried the pot thing", thank you very much.

Yes I am having fun getting all folk-musical today. I wonder how many non-Aussies got the second one?
