Wth Silver Bells and Cockle Shells

Well, technically, they aren't really cockle shells.    They are Scallop Shells, and I ate the Scallops out of them. 

I'm going decorative at the allotment this year.   This is my Artichoke which I bought at Edinburgh Farmers Market at the Weekend.    I have planted it here along side some dahlias. 

Si has awarded me a WHOLE bed to plant flowers and I have 2 plants which I bought on the "clearance" rack at B&Q ... and tonight, I planted 6 Cosmos (2 aren't very sure looking) and 3 Sunflowers. 

I also put some poppy seeds in. 

Additionally - I received 4 tubers thru the post today ( I promised Si last month I wouldn't buy any more, but that Evil Woman Sarah Raven emailed me and told me that they were a bargain, just for me). 

When I got home, my box was sitting, open on the side. ....

"You appear to have received more tubers" Said Si. 

"have I? "  I questioned, "that's lovely, it must be a surprise for me". 

 He knows fine well I bought them, we have a joint bank account, but I do like to pretend.
