During my “Domestic Goddess” phase – they are very infrequent and very short – I made some homemade hommous. Some of the chickpeas I didn’t use sprouted, so I thought I would plant them (I do the same with sprouting carrot tops and stuff – why…?) and this is what I’ve got – albeit a lot too late in the season….
And heres some advice on how to grow them. You’re supposed to sow them after the last frost – oops! Not Mid August then!!
My buddleia is in full bloom – they do take over the garden, but who cares, as the butterflies come in droves – this is a Peacock Butterfly:
And this one I looked up at lunch at home, but now cannot remember!
Me and my mum went to Clarke Hall in Wakefield for a night on 1690 food – its an old farm house from 1690 and they do educational things, so me and mum signed up for a ‘food from 1690′ which was basically salads that had to be based around hot cold, moist and dry – all very random, but very good!
here is my sald based around a “tree” which is some rosemary and a lemon….Hmmmmmmmm. Strange, I know! We could take it home for tea. I’ll be honest, the compost bin enjoyed it – said it was yummy!!!
Very structural, errrr, and symmetrical.
