    I think life's too short to be messing with dalia seeds haha. I'm more about the lilies. Not all my flowers are perfect, the rain keeps mashing them up and the slugs have had a good feed but I caught some chopped them in half and left them in a plant saucer for the birds. HA! I'm a bit annoyed with that beautiful yellow lily, it's only grown 6 inches tall and is hiding under things image

    Aym, love onions and hate soggy eggs so always deliberately burn it haha veryone thinks I'm mad. Dong eat scrambled cos they're too soggy. Red and orange beet raw, red salad bowl lettuce green salad bowl lettuce radish, spring onion, purple and yellow carrots, watercress in the omelette and flowering thyme all over. Made the dressing with honey from up the road and apple cider vinegar. I don't really eat meat much, a bit of steak once a year, turkey and gammon at xmas and maybe a couple of cooked breakfasts. I eat a hideous amount of fish, seafood and quite a few eggs though.  I use multi purpose compost for all my leaves

    Great pics MrsGarden, I love the geum with the nigella. I've got a 'Totally Tangerine' geum but I think I may have to treat myself to a Mrs Bradshaw now! ?

    Haha that garlic would last about 5 minutes in my house, you wouldn't believe how much I get through. My auntie has had some wild garlic pop up and I've scavenged the lot. Raw beets nice and crunchy, it comes shredded in some salad bags from the supermarket so you may have tried it without realising.

    Those lilies are lovely Sophie 17, very vibrant. Love the way you've got them all lined up along the wall too, what a wonderful show ?
