One of the features of Folia, the social network for gardeners (and, more importantly for me, an excellent online garden notebook) is a wishlist where I can jot down ideas for what I want to grow.

I have finally reached the point where I am able to move some items from the wishlist and into my garden. The myrtle (Myrtus communis) shown above was the first to make the transition. I thought it might be interesting to take you on a tour of some of the other plants I am also considering over my next few days of blogging.
