I had just cut the lawn, phew! Found I had my “David Bailey” head on, had an idea I would take you on a journey through my garden, I am quite proud of it, it was an overgrown jungle 30 years ago and how it is now is the result of trial and error, non of it was planned it just evolved, I think thats the thing about gardening, I don;t think we are ever satisfied with it.. hope you like it anyway! Its my first attempt at blogging, didn’t know how to put comments below pictures!! Sorry if its not up to standard.. Dido x

The Sticky Willie Weed, you know, its a pain when it produces its "sticky bud" seeds.. Rascal eats it, but a fellow GoYer explained it was used as a veg a long time ago... That tickled me Ladybug!!
