In the evening light….They are truly dwindling now – in fact, I’d written off anymore pea collecting. So it was with great delight that I pounced upon these this evening. All twenty-seven of them! Do you count things? I don’t normally, but I always seem to count veg when I collect them. I just can’t seem to help myself – perhaps its some kind of disorder! Last week it was 73 rhubarb stalks (and I normally have a brain like a sieve!).
So this evening we’ll be enjoying twenty-seven squeaky mangetout, and one Madame Isaac Pereire rose – a beautiful Bourbon with velvet petals of crimson pink, and an exquisitely deep rose scent….
No, we’re not going to EAT the rose!
