The deer is so lovely, not too sure about the skunks though, I believe we have them here in Belize, but thankfully no encounters as yet.

Hmmmm don't know, it certainly doesn't have purple seed pods, still thinking more on the line of velvet bean. But will keep my eye on the seed pods in case they turn purple.

What a harvest, if you don't have better eyesight after that lot, then there's no hope. :thumbsup

You sure are going to be busy.

I am glad CM turned up OK but so sorry you lost BA :hugs

Well done, they look fantastic. :celebrate Now you have to decide what your first crops are going to be.

Good luck and be proud your garden looks wonderful. When we first moved here, I said (half jokingly) we should put a sign up outside "Garden Party all Welcome" and when people arrived give them all a spade :gig

They look lovely, what you going to do with them all, freeze, can or what?

wsmoak - that is a truly lovely picture.

I thank you all for your kind thoughts and words. We are trying to get back to some sort of normal routine, it's extremely difficult, so if I should post idiotic guff, or disappear for a while, you will know why. I truly thank you all.

Just thought I would let you know, in case anyone was wondering where I had got too. I had some heartbreaking news the other day, my adult son was killed in a road accident in Zambia where he was working. So I will get around to posting at some stage. But I remember your kind thoughts when...

Yep I think you should be able to use the seeds. Lovely picture.

Does anyone have a good orange marmalade recipe they have tried and tested. I have just been given a load of oranges and need to get them used up. I have used a recipe in the past that I got off the internet, OK but nothing brilliant.

Clever you, and plenty fo $$$ saved. :thumbsup
