Not all Veggies

Lovely, Mac !

Your garden's gorgeous and i'm glad you ventured out the front because the sight is so pretty !!!

Very nice, Maccrimmon, I like your pictures.
Do you realise that you have now stepped onto the slippery slope of growing ornamentals? I see that there is a lot of nice grass just begging to be turned over to flower beds :-).

Lovely blog and the flowers DO look good enough to eat. I think you've been hooked and those boring veggies could become history! :~)

well thanks u 3 , hmm there's an idea Bulba , I really will need to be careful.

Looks like you've been well and truly converted! Love the section of garden bed in front of the new fence and the beds at the front of the house - gorgeous. Great job!

Pretty planting...
Mac...well done :o)

It looks fantastic mac you have been very busy - where will it all end Well Done

Love it Mac you have some beautiful flowers, love the chicken tails poy, Dahhlia Fire and Ice and you have made lovely job of your front of house border!

Humph...............

Another one has crossed over Ian digs!!!! It's a conspiracy to have gardens full of flowers!

Not speaking to any of ya's

Come on Ian, don't sulk. We all know you've been unfaithful yourself and doing a bit of dabbling with the pretty flowery things. You're just finding out what you've been missing all this time!....;~))

No, not having it, that was Carol.....HeHe
Long live the veggies !!!!!!!!! If it was up to me there wouldn't be any veg in supermarkets, so there.
Hummmmmmmmmph

I should watch out, I'm an expert dummie thrower, I've been invited to join the GoY olympic team, so there.
:~)))

now now Ian breath deeply and count to ten : ) :) At the rate you and Mac are going I can see you both teaming up to do a chelsea garden show next year

Well done your garden looks great.

GoY Olympics?.......now there's a thought. There must be all sorts of veggie sports ....like...'tossing the turnip' or 'sprout juggling' ....or ???? Anyone got any other suggestions. I can't think of anymore just now and have to go out now to a wet and windy BBQ..:~(( What fun!!

HuuuuH phew, Thangs Angie. I feel much better now. :~))

Lily, what about the cane javaline
The 100mtr runner (bean) event
???? No i'm stuck as well........where's Terratoonie when you need her?

You could have a (bean) pole vault, a carrot and stick race, a lettuce lobbing contest, or how about a spud-bashing time trial. LoL. Of course, you could always grow Daylilies. They're edible, did you know?

P.S. I almost forgot. Great blog and photos Mac. Keep up the good work
(Whispers aside to audience) "Carrots would grow great where that lawn is"

Looks great Mac, agree with BBB though you only need to lift a few turfs to sow a few Courgettes/ Marrows. You could sell them at the front gate. Lol.

I don't care who started this but I'm finishing it!
Courgettes have beautiful flowers - ha so there, both possible on one plant.
Can't speak for the turnips, shame. lol

lovely plants Mac. dont eat the lilies will you.
with out flowers ian there wouldnt be beans and strawbs or any seed to grow cabbages and sprouts. long live the flowers.

I might look at a bit of the lawn and change things . .. . hmmm now let me think.

No, seriously Mac it looks great as it is. You've done a brilliant job.

thanks doc although it gets you thinking , I am not sure if gardeners are ever finished , is a garden ever completed?

A garden is completed to your complete satisfaction the week before you put the house on the market and move on!

well known Chinese saying

I started my garden doing veggies and flowers have already given up one potential veg patch for hubbys wildlife pond and once my pumpkins and sprouts have finished this area will be a Japanese garden... I hope...

less vegies more flowers,shrubs and fruit

x x x

Now Mookins, More veggies, more veggies and even more veggies. So there :~))

Argh!

LOL :~))
See what you've started Mac?

Shall we all leave this now and go and veggie-tate?

It's all Bobs fault !!!

oops!!

Mac......glad to see you are growing some sensible things like flowers at last. Well done. They look beautiful.
Ian......now Ian.....you have to stop passing the blame onto Bob. He's going to get a complex.
Just to put in my two cents worth......I dug up my huge veggie plot and made the entire thing into flower beds........hummmm....reminds me, I need to blog an update on that. :o)

hehe bumblebee thats funny
Great blog Mac
x x x

It's alright Gilli, I'm married so I'm used to taking the blame. LOL.

hold on!

Not you Doctorbob 1, The other Bob, Bob_g. Its all his fault ! Lol :~))

Sorry my mistake.

Has the other Bob ...Bob-g left for his holidays yet?

He says he's going to wave to me on his way to Blair Atholl on Saturday!
I'm not sure about veggies, but I do want go grow lots of fruit!
Mind you, is it too late to plant tatties? The ones in my fridge have sprouted! Too busy digging to waste time cooking!

he needs to pass me on the way up Madperth

Why, where are you?
