In my garden

I've raised all of these from seed. Firstly some mint plants which kindly come away again every Spring despite my neglect



My first ever vegetable garden containing sugar snap peas, cos lettuce, a couple of bean plants, florence fennel, kumi kumi (a summer squash), little gem squash, new rocket (arugula) seedlings, Greek oregano and nastertiums (grown for the seed pods which I pickle)



Here is the wombok, an Asian style green (okay, so I've eaten it all now but here is how it looked)



And the poppies have just started flowering.

Jewels from my garden

Gale force winds last week lashed at my hydrangea and broke a branch off, but at least I could enjoy the broken branch's blooms inside for a few days



Harvested on Sunday, the radish leaves went into soup (thanks Marjie) and the lush globes will be in salads this week
