    Thanks all! I started more beans at the end of July and the corn is also the second sowing.

    I'll ask the neighbours if they know about the nasturtiums, Sue. It would be interesting to know. Lots of them came up in that narrow border. All the Verbena bonariensis, the pot marigolds and lots pansies are self seeded too, which was a nice surprise.

    It's lovely to get those surprises Miranda.  You never know, there might be some spring bulbs in there to come up too which will be another bonus.

    There was some bulb foliage when we moved in - it looked like an allium of some sort. I wonder if anything else will appear?

    I thought Miranda's naturtiums might be the "Alaska" cultivar, which comes in various shades of orange, yellow and red with variegated leaves.  Very pretty!!  I had some last year, and they re-seeded a little this year but the seedlings did not make it through the heavy rains of spring.
