The Cutting Garden Flower Challenge 2014

[veggiechicken]

these were hors de combat so I pooped them into a glass with a bit of water,

They're lovely Scarey, but you sound like Officer Crabtree - I can't stop giggling.

Oopsie, weelll, I am partly French now! glad to have given you a giggle

[scarey55]

You should start "doing" cut flowers Scarey, they look really nice................It's not often you get a bloke saying that but credit where credit's due.............

Whay, thank you kind sir

A bunch of sweet peas I picked yesterday, making the kitchen smell lovely:

They're gorgeous Martin. I'm still waiting for my sweet peas to flower (well, the few plants which survived the slugs)
None of my proper cut flowers are ready yet, but poppies, foxgloves, eschscholzia and ox-eye daisies are growing like crazy. Here's some which I picked today - the poppies don't last in water more than 4 or 5 days, but the daisies stay fresh for about a fortnight (after stems seared in boiling water)

Nice one RM, although when I first looked at the pic before opening it up, I thought you'd put them in a jar of marmite

[robmarston]

Now there's a thought. Always after interesting vase ideas. 😃
