There are no gardening mistakes, only experiments. – Janet Kilburn Phillips

 I mentioned in lockdown that I had taken to planting without purpose, just to watch things grow, and I'm continuing this zen practice as I find it very satisfying.



I was so excited when these pretty little violets appeared.









However a day or so later I was put to shame when I saw some street tomatoes, apparently grown from a wayward seed dropped by a bird or a compost spill from the garbage truck....Evidently no tending, no watering and no care is a better gardener than my good self!  



Lastly, I saw this strange one on the dog walk - anyone know what it is?

  2. What are you talking about (joking)? I love violets, but the weather becomes too hot in summer to have them outside - enjoy your weekend/1
