In my garden

I've been using the sunny days to take care of my garden. After several months and endless seedlings, I'm starting to see tiny veggies emerging from inside beautiful flowers. I love the tiny green veins of pea flowers and the pink shadows on broad bean petals. This year my vegetable patch has to be bigger than ever to cope with the growing competition. After all, gardening is the newest black and the whole country has gone "grow your own" mad, even my friend Nicola is getting her finger nails dirty in her small city-centre garden (butternut squash competition?). Over the next few months I'll be harvesting fruit and vegetables too numerous to mention, but I'm currently most excited about tomatos, cucumber, peas and strawberries. It's a full-time job. Even with a helper.
