It's a very pretty little plant though so I hope you have more luck than I do.<br /><br />I hope SW has gone well today and that PT goes well. I'm really enjoying my own attempts at PT ... I think I've been lucky enough to find the right trainer for me on my first try. xxEileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-56634343951631608062022-07-01T12:30:40.013+01:002022-07-01T12:30:40.013+01:00Oh that Courgette flower is beautiful.

Well I can buy them, thank goodness and they do get super cheap at this time of year. I have planted my winter leeks in the new space I have since uprooted my desiccated specimen.<br />Hope you have a good weekend ... it's the 1st July and to quote Alan 'we are on our way to Christmas' !!Sue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-16122305441464725122022-07-01T11:19:47.000+01:002022-07-01T11:19:47.000+01:00That courgette flower is gorgeous.
