It's time ...

... to pull up the mange-tout. They've gone over and the dried pods need picking for seed. A space will be made to plant out the leeks in their final place.


Among the plants and in the strawberry patch are these poppies.


They are all different. Some with a little frill, 


and some with many frills.



Some big and some small. All beautiful.




The mange-tout seeds will be dried some more and put away to plant next year.


We're busy eating the potatoes now to make even more space for the leeks.

  6. I have seen so many beautiful poppies like yours this year, I love them. I think we could maybe squeeze a few in here.
