VEGETABLE HEAVEN

Growing and eating lovely food. Trying something different. Saving seeds, breeding my own varieties. Gardening isn't dull!

Christmas greenery

A table centre made from holly, ivy, viburnum tinus, rosemary, bay and a bit of cupressus. There are also a few bunches of the lovely crab apple Red Sentinel. Happy Christmas!



Here's our tree. It's a branch of deadfall from the neighbouring wood, painted with floor paint (covers in one coat!) and hung with white and silver balls, glass icicles and a few berries. Very Narnia.


Table arrangement again. This one has been in place nearly 3 weeks. Carnations are brilliant value.




This group is on the sideboard. Again, mainly garden greenery with a bunch of red and green flowers from the supermarket shop yesterday.


A Happy New Year!

After all your hard work making village wreaths I am glad you still found the energy to do something lovely for yourself.

They're so pretty. I had intended, really intended, to make a bay wreath for the door or table, but like so many plans, it just gang agley! Your work is just so beautiful and seasonally cheery!
