But, recently, over these very same couple of weeks I've been attracted to all the wondrous shades of red. The unopened apple blossoms, the ladybirds, well see for yourself.....

Broad Beans - Pink close to the stem

Okay, so I cheated on the last 2! But I really do have a lot more photos of things, for instance the new Raspberry cane shoots, the fine hairs on the Redcurrant bush's main stem and the gorgeous red thorns on our climbing rose.
Oh, where will I be when you read this bloggette? Scheduling it for Wednesday...so...the train up to Milan. Oh, sorry, have I made you jealous, hehe. x
Lovely pictures you will miss the plot though you won't have that in Milan Te He
ReplyDeleteI'm not jealous at all as I'd rather be at my allotment plot. The weather here is grand, I hope it is for you as well. Enjoy your break.

What are your plans for the rhubarb?
ReplyDeleteWe planted our crowns this spring and hopefully in a few years we'll have abundant rhubard - until then we settle for stuff from the market.
Joanne - thanks for the lovely comment on my pics. I did miss the plot a lot! Milan is okay but my wee bits of Eden are better!
ReplyDeleteMaureen - The weather in Italy was perfect but you were right, I did wish, many times, that I was back in the Lottie.
Whiterice - We plan to buy more!! We'd like to have a nice big bed of it and force some and make rhubarb scones and pies etc, Yummmy. But you're right it will be a while before we have enough to satisfy our lust!
