Hopefully it’s not too late to tell you that you have a very beautiful garden, Mags. I love it.
Thank you Pimmy, that is very kind of you…

Pleasures!
I like the garden a bit on the wild side and the lawn has quite a covering of buttercups and daisies. In all the years that I have let the daisies grow, there has never been another like this one. It must be 10 years since this photo was taken but it has never happened again…

Wow, i have never seen things like this.
I named it the ‘crazy daisy’ at the time. 
The Evening Primroses have started flowering. Each flower only lasts about a day once fully open but it does tend to only open a couple at a time, so the whole plant is in flower for quite a while…

Not bad for a £10 Asda special. Supermarket plants can often look a bit droopy because of lack of water. See past that and buy anyway. They look better when home and given a little care…

Is it possible to eat fresh evening primrose flowers, just like we use its oil?
I don’t know about that Pimmy. The insects seem to be OK about eating a chunk two out of the leaves but that’s probably not to much to go by.

Time for the Wild Roses to open. The bees love them. I know they are wild, or at least very upset, because the thorns are really vicious.

It’s surprising how heavy a pile of acorns like that weighs once in the bin. Acorns are a real pain. They fall on the roofs of our outbuildings and the noise never fails to make me jump.
