We have had our first Broad Beans tonight and they were truly scrumptious!
First crop in Mum’s trug
2 The Sweet Peas are getting up the arch and the first ones have flowered today. I am hoping for the arch to be covered before my beloved brother and SIL leave in early July. They will arrive on Friday and I am very excited!
First Sweet peas going up the arch
3 Julia Donaldson is the author of many books for children including the wonderful Gruffalo . These are her words and I so echo them. I wonder which books have lived on most in you, dear Readers.
I opened a book – Julia Donaldson
The crazy characters of Under Milk Wood, the beautiful and zany Pippi Longstocking and The Scarlet Pimpernel are among some of the many that are inside me for ever.

O’ beans! Your beans and sweet peas give you bragging rights . My peas just popped out of the ground not less than a week ago. On the bright side, if there is one, I can shout out, “first weeds by the bushels”.
Book(s), Who Has Seen the Wind by W.O. Mitchell. Words, not in book format; once I listened just feet away from Michael Ondaatje reading his poetry.

I love the idea that the book stays inside of you and I only met Pippi when I read her story to my daughter but she effected us both. Have a great day, your garden looks great.

I’m envious of your beautiful veggies. My garden isn’t doing too well yet.
Thanks for sharing the poem. I’ve copied it and will pass it along to a librarian friend.
I enjoy your blog very much!

Peas (sweet) and beans are a feast for the taste and senses! Now to hide in a book!
