Red poppies

You can easily see what was good at self-seeding from last year’s wildflower mix in the front garden - the red poppies and the cornflowers. Next year, I’ll make more of an effort to sow new seed before everything starts growing.

A day of chores - new tyres for the car, supermarket shop, some housework and some laundry. Plus pre-cooking some courgettes ready for a pasta lunch tomorrow - a recipe from one of Stanley Tucci’s Italian programmes.
