Here some pics of plants.
We went to get some pots, and came back with more plants than intended. Pim selected a big indoors plant, and a smaller one, which is very out of character :D
I got strawberries (stupid?) and some more herbs. The lemon balm that I thought had died this winter, is sprouting. Good that I didn't dare throw the "dead" plant away. So now I have two because I bought a second one.
We also got a couple of tomato plants. Last year we sowed, and kept two, which gave 3 tomatoes and a half, which was a lot considering we get about 5m of sun even in summer. This time I got two plants that must be about 20cm tall already, at 1.30€ each they were cheaper than the seeds, and we got two different kinds (cherry and an hybrid).
The lily of the valley shows some signs of movement. I got it last spring, and kept it in a clay pot outside all winter, snow, ice and all. It took some strong will not to put the pot inside, but it seems I did the right thing. I could never keep it alive before. First time I try a clay pot too. ALL plants are doing way better in clay pots. From the two ferns that also spent the winter outside, one is sprouting, the other doesn't show signs yet.
I hope I can keep this fern alive because I love it.
