Another type of teeny egg
What with Poppy laying her third egg we also have minuscule egg plants; rich purple skinned au regimes no bigger than a sprout! Small is beautiful.

An ill wind.
Having caught a virus from a work colleague I'm off work. It drives me to distraction when I have time on my hands but no energy to do anything so after another day of doing nothing I wandered around the garden to take photos for you. First we have success in the greenhouse with Luke's tomatoes ripening.
Next the hibiscus is flowering well, as is the hollyhock.
The gladioli screams for attention with it's lime colour and the wild flowers, though knocked back in last week's stormy weather, is still a bank of lemon to attract the hover flies. The cut price Verbascum has flowered again after I cut back the initial stems.
Onto the veg patch, I took my eye off the ball and our cheeky chicks nibbled the tops off my carrots whilst the onions, not having had their stems bent over, have bolted.
The good news is we have the second egg from Poppy.

Border hens
I'm not in work and the hens are loving it it means they have the entire day to roam the garden. Lucky things.
