        it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

        • Basil today, I always grow lots in the tunnel, it’s supposed to help the tomatoes!

          • My Flower is an Antirrhinum - or Snap Dragon as I prefer to call it - spelling is easier
            I've no idea how it came to be there.

            • Today it's a carnation that's my flower of the day, this is a second flowering for this plant, and I also note that there is a red one in the same pot coming back through

                    • Morning glory. This little plant has appeared on the decking having sprouted from below. Either it has self seeded from earlier in the year or I have dropped a seed. Whatever - it is most welcome not just for its heroic endeavours but for its pure beauty.

                        • These little poppies pop up everywhere and can be single or double like these. Most are yellow though a few are orange. I don’t know their name. I remember them at home when I was young and they were wrongly called Icelandic poppies.

                          • It may be Welsh Poppy/Meconopsis cambrica as there are single and double petaled types and they come in yellow and orange. Oddly, I don't have any in my garden although I keep meaning to grow them.

                            My Flower is a Black Futsu Squash - no fruit but the flowers are so different to the usual big yellow squash flowers - like wilting silk!!

                              • Thanks for the offer I have some seeds but seem to forget to sow them every year.
                                Are you in the Flower Seed Circle? If not, you should be
