David- the arthritis is a bugger, isn't it? It;s mostly in my feet at the moment, which limits mobility until the painkillers kick in!
John in Hull, a potager garden is one belonging to someone who doesn't like planting veg. in neat rows. Each raised bed has a mixture of herbs, veg, and the odd flower. I can go and pick what I need for meals as it is ready. Lettuce and mange-tout peas in the polytunnel at the moment. Stir-fry and salad for tea tonight!
Cheers, Bron.
