My dad enjoys gardening and still does everything himself, including all the hedge trimming. He prefers vegetables to flowers though.

My dad used to like veggies too ...I think it stemmed from the need to grow your own before and after the war ...
Wow, the peony cake is good

Exactly.
My nana (dad's mum) was very green fingered too.

The water is manky
If I lay down there, I'd need someone to haul me up.

Love the castle ruins

My mum and dad have a rowan tree in their front garden. It was grown from a seeding which appeared from nowhere - presumably a seed dropped by a bird.
Baz posted:That's quite nice
Yes.
I like that schools are encouraging gardening nowadays
Bless them. It's great that the children can get a sense of achievement out of growing things.

Yes
