Allotment and kitchen garden blog
Based in Ickleford, Hertfordshire, UK.
My own little allotment of land (in whatever form it takes, whatever I do with it, or dream of doing) serves as a springboard for creativity and happiness.
Looking around lovely gardens, especially those open for National Garden Scheme with occasional visits elsewhere.
Birds, Animals, the Occasional Dash of Whimsy and lots of Pictures.

Pollinator pollen party!
Yes, with drink provided!
Oh, how gorgeous! May I ask where you got the plant from and, if from seed, does it come true?
It is a self seed, but I am collecting from this shortly. Do you want some to try?
Ooh, thanks, I’d love to! I have the usual red ones to offer you in return ….
stunning!
and happily a surprising variation from the rest
Very delicate colours.
Yes it is like some of the shirley poppies in colour, but with much more panache!
Beautiful poppies, but I think P. somniferum is illegal to grow here.
Oh yes, it looks like a bit of a minefield, with quite a lot of mixed advice. Happily it is OK here, ‘cos there are some brilliant cultivars like Black Fizz.
What a lovely thing! I only have red and mauve, this one is gorgeous.
Yes, so unusual to see edged white. I do love the really dark ‘Blackcurrant Fizz’ though.
