Well I can think of worse things than out-of-control lillies of the valley and mint!

Ah, I had done the same type of “mistake” with Lily of the Valley, they spread like crazy and can’t be killed! Fresh mint in tea with lots of sugar is very good (like they do in Marocco)…

Welcome lillalotta! I can’t think of anything more romantic than a fresh bouquet of veggies and I’ve decided that life is just more interesting without instructions.

Oooh, sounds perfectly civilized. Even if the Brits had nothing to do with it …

I could have written this post. It is so like me. I love the idea of it all, but I just don’t have the time. Besides my husband has taken control of the garden bits, and I will do the house on the inside. He does surprise me with lovely veggies and flowers…. and we are both happy. With me indoors
I don’t do manuals either, although my littlest children love making drawings in them. Better to just try it, fail a few times, and then know what NOT to do

…they ‘do’ make good Mint Candied Leaves for serving with tea. (Why the Brits didn’t think of it, I’ll never know)

Val!!! Funny, I just found a recipe for watermelon and cucumber mint tsatsiki but feta sounds even better. Or you could just come here and show me how to make it …
