Today, we ate the pepper as part of a salad. The mega-expensive pepper is no more - and very tasty it was too!

Awesome! Is it difficult to care for?

Cosmos - my favourite petunia!

Please tell me that at least the bees like it!

Here on the Isle of Wight, it's so hot and dry even the weeds are wilting.

Is it supposed to be that big? 😗

I used a wooden escalator on the London Underground back in the late 60s/early 70s during my hippie days. I was wearing a long dress, and the hem caught down the side of the step!

You've given me an idea for using the branches the are going to be cut from a bay tree that's been neglected - they should be strong enough to support the emergent gladioli!

For my tomatoes this year, I'm giving gartenperle a try.

It looks amazing!

What IS that? It looks amazing.

I'm well, thanks. I used to live on the backs of the Stour in Wimborne. I live on the Isle of Wight now.

Hope you're feeling better! Is that the Stour in Dorset?

A while to go before its full glory, but this is in Newport, Isle of Wight, UK
