My hardy geraniums are flowering and I've my first sweet pea flower too, but unfortunately it seems that my beans have been devoured by an army of slugs. <br />Gorgeous photos as usual Mark ;)Neesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-77227931528724948722014-06-22T12:05:46.379+01:002014-06-22T12:05:46.379+01:00I guess that sprig of sage is destined for the pot...I guess that sprig of sage is destined for the pot as a punishment.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-36319354657036783532014-06-22T10:10:09.005+01:002014-06-22T10:10:09.005+01:00Gorgeous pcs as always Mark.

I rely mostly on fresh air and sunshine! Since I always grow mine outdoors, I rely on bees and hoverflies for pollination, and they seem to do a good job.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-30855861007809051802014-06-21T15:13:01.475+01:002014-06-21T15:13:01.475+01:00I never seem to have much luck with getting pepper...I never seem to have much luck with getting peppers, do you have any hints at all?
