garden plants list Tweet

Updated April 9th 2012: This is a messy but helpful reminder, from self to self, of what I'm growing in my Central London urban garden, what has and hasn't worked across the years, and what's still to be seen. Getting all Latin & common names right, adding Wikipedia links, and blog post links seem to be the obvious next steps, but for now my hands are a bit busy... gardening.
