Totally dismayed yesterday to find a favourite garden centre had come
over all false Xmas trees and baubles, with all the gardening things
shoved out of the way. Yes, I know they have to make a living out of
season, but - Yuk !

BUT, desperate to browse gardeny things I took a look at a display of
French (?) different anyway packets of seeds and discovered a packet of
PINK nasturtiums !!
Now have I lived a sheltered life, and everyone else grows these things
all the time, or is this a first ?

Anyway, on a bleak, rainy November day it gave me a little frisson - one
more reason to look forward to next year's growing season, can't wait to
see them in my pots - I wonder if they'll set seed like the usual ones
??

Oh no!!!!!!
I love Christmas and to see all the lovely Christmassy things wherever
they are - they are so cheerful and full of bonhomie and make me think
of cribs and stables and oxes and asses and so on )
The only problem I have is that they introduce them too far before
Christmas (((((

I may have dreamed this, but was there not a strange one
on Gardeners world or somewhere, with a kind of
trumpet flower? anyway very different.

I have a lovely one with varigated leaf, but been around for a bit.

Salmony pink ones have been around for years. I don't like them myself.
Now, the deep blood red ones are a different matter entirely :-)
