Going to a wedding and we're ...

... eating up the strawberries.

Not many left now.

... eating up as many courgettes as are on the plants.

... stripping the mange tout* of the seed pods.

And bagging up the last of the petal confetti. The confetti is dried petals from roses in friends' gardens (and the park) and flowers from our garden.

Bags are almost packed (crochet hook and wool included) and passports ready. House and pusscat sitter sorted. See you next week.

Everything in the garden is rosy

No roses here - it's mange-tout.

Spot the mange-tout! DD ate these in her stir fry. (I ate the first one though!)

Spinach grows really quickly.

The leeks have been transplanted. Let's hope they grow to fill the holes.

Yeah hay, the runner beans have germinated. These were planted straight into the ground.

These were planted in pots at the same time. I shall plant them out tomorrow.

The Lidl lettuce is still going strong.

Not a rose in sight, but everything in the garden is rosy.

Everything in the house is rosy too.

Rose petal confetti was the order of the day so I hung up a bunch of roses in the airing cupboard to dry.

Once dry I peeled them apart to separate the petals.

I'm also experimenting with peony heads, bluebells and lily of the valley.

 More roses here from a walk in the park and poppy petals from the garden.
