Help- didnt realise the time & daughter due back anytime between 5.30 & 6.30pm expecting a perfect meal every time! I pointed this out to her last night & grudgingly got an apology!
Off to do wonders- ha- with courgettes, some mine, swank, & mushrooms, cream fraiche & rice. J.
I am quite chuffed--I have hollyhock buds on the plants I grew from seed--have never had success before. Can't remember what colour they are--got the seed from a friend's plant, but suspect dark red. And I have a pink lupin blooming, also from seed.
Haha--what planting scheme? Aside from pots, those plants in the ground are almost always what WILL grow there--not always what I've planned! To say my garden is informal is rather understating it. But then, I live in the woods.
Plants that self-seed and choose where they want to go are always far more successful than those that we try to redirect. There's a lot to be said for letting nature re-arrange things for you, as she sees best.
Finding out what colours you get from a packet of mixed seed is always interesting. I grow hollyhocks, and lupins from seed, and have never been disappointed.
This year I also tried a packet of mixed cosmos - well there were mixed colours on the packet cover, but they've all turned out yellow.
I don't know why it is that Italians have this thing about tomatoes. Why, in the joke, is it an Italian, and why tomatoes.
Sadly not warm enough to eat out tonight but had lunch on the patio, I sat in the summer house for what was supposed to be for a ten minute power nap and woke up at 5.15pm!! I know what your going through Jo mad panic
Gary I very much like nature to re-arrange my garden you can always shift or pull out, Ive not been successful with hollyhock and cosmos unfortunately

Good luck Jo!
Now that could be an olympic event. Rustling up posh nosh in the fastest time.

Well done Inka. I'm trying Hollyhock for the first time. Sowed the seeds last week.
Mmm, egg and chips! With a blob of ketchup on the side.
Inka, makes it more exciting when you don't know what colour things will be - unless its the wrong colour for your planting scheme.
Home made chips apparently-frozen ones are on stand-by for when I do dinner

Hope you guys can read this? I just saw it, and made me giggle. Should be readable if clicked on and zoomed in.
