<\/a>Black Tomatoes<\/span><\/h3>\nIf you follow any gardening feeds, you might’ve noticed a lot of noise in 2014 about this new black tomato variety. Okay, yes, it doesn’t sound that appetising, but I can assure you it tastes wonderful and gives some talking point to your vege patch, veranda or wherever else you’re growing it. Sutton Seeds<\/a> now have this variety on sale, with six seeds for \u00a33.49. Alternatively, you could wait until next June and buy three plug plants for \u00a36.99.<\/p>\n In addition to the black tomato, they’ve also released a tomato ‘artisan bumblee bee mix<\/a>‘. These cherry tomatoes are sure to be a conversation starter as they’re purple, pink or golden-yellow in colour.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I know I gave you a lavender find last week, but I’ve stumbled across a gorgeous ‘glowing’\u00a0<\/em>lavender at GardeningExpress<\/a>. Platinum blonde has the traditional soft grey leaves of lavender, but it’s growing tips are creamy-gold, making it look as if it’s got a glowing halo. It looks like a wonderful plant, and they attest to the fact it has fabulous scent as well. Currently, they’ve got a price reduction so you can get three plants for \u00a314.99 instead of \u00a349.99. Why so expensive?\u00a0<\/i>\u00a0Because it’s a fairly new and exclusive award winning plant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you’re a fan of my Facebook page<\/a>, you’ll know I regularly update with quirky and fun DIY projects for the garden. Now, Sainsbury’s Bank have produced a cute ‘Crafty Garden Idea’s’ \u00a0guide. Within its pages are watering tips, a simple bird-feeder idea and ways to keep your mint growing healthily.<\/p>\n You can find it HERE<\/a>, and your browser will open the PDF. From there, read, download and print off at your leisure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a>Glowing Lavender<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/a>Crafty Garden Ideas<\/span><\/h3>\n
