The garden

Potatoes: ravaged by blight :-(

Lettuces: eaten by slugs :-(

Runner beans: eaten by slugs :-(

Blueberries: enough for muffins, even though this is their first year :-)

Gardening advice

So one for rustica, bunn, helflaed, and anyone else who wants to chuck their twopenn'orth in.

Our garden is bordered by a shared driveway, with a low wall and fence in between. The drive is tarmac (although fairly old and broken tarmac), and the usual stuff (dandelions, grass, nettles, more dandelions) grows along the edges.

It struck me today that maybe I could get something more attractive to grow there. I'm not prepared to put in very much work to achieve this, and I certainly wouldn't be looking for a high success rate; but can anyone suggest any seeds that might work?

Thanks
