Is it a weed?
Hi all I found a tuber/root in my new garden, (only been here a couple of years), when digging the border and lifted it and potted it to see what would grow. Link to photo. I think it is nothing more than a weed, but I don't see any more growing by Disponded

Plants for a cats grave!
recommend catmint (botanical name Nepeta). Grows as a small shrub, dies down in winter and comes again in spring. As the name implies, cats love it, rubbing their noses in it makes them go all gooey! No problem to dig up and replant so long as you take a by hedygergely

What to grow in pots?
no idea if there's enough soil in a 37cm pot to grow good tomatoes. For the 30cm pots, I'm thinking I can probably only grow herbs rather than fruit and veg? Those size pots will be fine for tomatoes or strawberries.  The smaller the pot, the more you by Tomsk

Mystery plant
is about 4 foot high and growing in sun (although I think there is one further down the garden in semi shade) The flowers are tiny, especially compared to plant and leaf size. I have no idea!     I asked this question for  a very similar flower last week by SilverFairy
