GARDENING WITH GUSTO...

Compost heap building up again and as soon as I turn my back the sparrows make the most of our leftovers and they know when to swoop down for some tasty morsels from our plates. Today's roast chicken seems to be going down well.

Well, the sweet peas and roses doing their bit in the garden seem to have taken over from all those tomatoes last season although Queen Elizabeth looks a bit forlorn. Maybe it's the blackspot dragging her down.
