In the matter of winter gardening things are not looking mighty.

I am a damned disgrace.

But I do have some green beans in my greenhouse! Three! Yahoy!

And cucumbers with blooms on them. Yahoy! Yahoy!

I have killed the lavender. Nobody kills lavender. I am seed saving as penance.

A woman at the garden taught me about the particular smell of sweet peas today. I never knew they smelt! I have purple and red ones and they smell gorgeous now that I know to smell them. I clipped them and put them on the blue kitchen table.

Friday treat

Serious Friday treat, blast from me past, secret guilty pleasure!

Yup, it’s Gardeners Question Time … even has archive, so you can hear repeats.

I loved the man who wanted to grow an olive tree. Man after my own heart, here chez the second floor mad poly tunnel..
