For the gardeners amongst us

Be careful with them - the seeds are poisonous.

Ok, do know if they harm cats in any way?

I dunno that a cat would be daft enough to eat any....

I've split my Basil, three ways. I don't know how well it'll do, I've put 2 right next to the window, and the other is in the kitchen, which is a bit dim.

In honour of my newly acquired fresh Mediterranean herbage, I've planned to cook curry tonight.

eeeeh, it's tipping it down out there!

here too: got home from my ride just before the heavens opened. Curry? Curry? Fresh coriander! ... got some in a wee pot!

Send some to Potsy, see if he eats it?

Curry here as well tonight.

Been quite bright and sunny with a bit of cloud here.

Well the gardening is proving hopeless this year here so far- most things are at least a month behind on the allotment and the slugs and snails are munching their way through just about everything.

I can't claim credit for this flower which I spotted today while out on a short ride. It's in a verge near a place called Bottisham hereabouts. I think it's a rare bee orchid and is stunning though my photo doesn't do it justice!

Lovely!

It's mainly been nice here today, just a summer downpour in the last half hour or so, the sort of rain that's fun to watch, if you're indoors.

Thanks Arch - you can see that East Anglia still has a little habitat left, aside from the agri- desert!
Rain just started here- over an inch forecast for us tonight- I'll be out looking for pesky slugs to despatch!

Me too, salt at the ready. I try to go on a killing spree after dark, with a torch

Spoke to a bloke on the London to Brighton many years ago, on a butcher's bike with a wicker basket full of dahlias on the front.
When I asked him why, he said he wanted to take his dahlias to the seaside.
Fair enough.
