How deceptive looks can be!  After a very hot & sweaty weekend doing BIG jobs in the garden – barrow after barrow load of spent spring growth off to the compost (I thought I might explode!), I ended by gathering seed-heads in the Kitchen Garden.  

This Nigella (Love in the Mist) and giant red mustard, were joined by coriander and bucket loads of poppy heads. My youngest daughter would describe this vision as very Pride & Prejudice! Pity I was covered in muck rather than wandering elegantly with a trug & a pretty bonnet!
