I’ve been battling nettles as tall as me while I was heaving out a dead whitethorn in the garden today, but before I started that I paid my feeble little vegetable beds a bit of attention.
I’ve decided that I can’t really grow any vegetables here as I’m not around enough to pick off all the caterpillars and snails, who have been enjoying the lettuces and broccoli I planted. The rocket survived more or less but still went to seed. Pretty though. Quite insect-like.






















The flowers of the Rocket taste very fiery, I love them. My flowers are yellow I think that is because my Rocket is perennial. Those flowers look lovely.
I haven’t tried them. Thanks for the tip.
My rocket always bolts. Useful to learn that the flowers are edible!
Wedgewood blue and a rather lovely new header. Your view? Or your house?
Thanks. It’s actually the view from across the combe (valley) to the cottage which is in the middle of the picture.
