Managed ti open it this time. I can't see angelic there, our friend used to grow it and eat it.

i must grow a few plants

For centuries, Angelica has been used by the Chinese for the treatment for hair loss. Enriched with Vitamin E, it helps stimulate oxygen flow in the body and scalp. Besides, it improves metabolism and replenishes the nutrients supply in the body, which is essential for hair growth. but it is

Picked the last of my outdoor tomatoes today, all green but will ripen indoors. Its been a good year, I've again learned from my mistakes and look forward to summer 2023 and doing even better

Green tomatoes perfect for green tomato chutney. Simple to make and as a neighbour of mine says Tel this is better than all those shop brought stuff. Recipe on BBC site.

There is some small creature who sleeps in a corner of our front porch because every morning there are a cluster of tiny black & white droppings, what could it be?

This one is for Lyn.
They are asters (I would call them Michaelmas Daisies) - but their name is Harrington Pinks

Two dahlias blooming today - These were mixed in with some bedding plants I was given and I didn't realise what they were until they flowered.
I still have petunias and begonias flowering.

 

[pjmburns]

Earlier this week I had another passion flower out and there are more buds. The plant flowered earlier in the year (I think I posted a photo) and then in the drought the plant really struggled even though I watered it. There have been two flowers in the last two weeks and there are more buds.

Wood Pigeons not the brightest birds around. We have had similar situations watching falcons on the roof of the house behind. I think Wood Pigeons must be too big a prey I have seen them swooped upon but not killed just a shower of feathers as they escape.

Townsfolk are in a little bit of a flap as their large seagull contingent seems to have flown away.

Not sure if they are herring gulls but try Swanshurst Park. Huge flock of gulls on grass there last week. I wasn't close enough to identify species

Swanshurst Park.

Is it Swanshurst where there was a public golf course ? I remember going there with a few mates, and getting a club, a putter and a ball each. 9 holes I think. I am about 60 years away now, so memory is hazy.

Pigeons here go around in gangs. The kestrel probably couldn't manage one, but a sparrow hawk can, and has done in our field.

Thanks for that info. I can't help feeling that that is the fate of a lot of my Brum memories.
