Who'd like to compare notes about flowers that we grow or would like to grow (with reasons) - starting with A? We'll move on to the other letters later.
I've been delving in my seedboxes and come up with 6 flowers I'd like to grow next year:-

Antirrhinum/Snap dragons - to play snap with.
Aquilegia - perennial, self seeders, lots of colours
Amaranth - not grown before but birds like the seed heads and can be eaten or dried for flower arrangements
Acroclinum - annual flowers for drying
Agastache/Anise hyssop - can be used for "tea" - good for pollinators
Aster - bright colours ? cut flowers

If I can grow these 6 next year, I'l be happy.

Just for a bit of fun. I’ll post a photo of garden related items. You have until tomorrow to guess what you think it is. Then I’ll let you know what it is. And post the next photo. No clues will be given. So don’t ask   . I’ll keep posting photos until I get board or you do     .

First one is easy.

   

We've had words that make you laugh which brought me to thinking that there are load of weird place names, let's see what we come up with, it might be a good geography lesson too.  So amusing/strange/downright peculiar place names please.

I'll start 

I saw a village name near Andower Hants while out and about yesterday called Smannell.  It doesn't easily roll of the tongue and made me smile
The river Piddle in Dorset 
I'm not far from the village of Nether Wallop
In NZ there was a place called Waikikamukau. (Why kick a moo cow) when passing as kids we always asked 'why not?'

   

You're half way through your carton of eggs - what is your personality type? 
Answers with reasons please.

As most of you know and are probably very board of hearing about   . I’m taking lots of cuttings for my new garden. What do you think would be the best course of action with the cuttings that are doing very well and now nicely established? Do I 
A. Leave them where they are. ( currently lot’s of different varieties of cuttings, some getting quite large in fish boxes)
B. Pot them into their own pots. So roots don’t get any more tangled together.
C. Something I’ve not thought of ? 

Advice please

At this time year our alotment site plays host to the community pay back scheme, when it goes well it goes well!

Yesterday I found when it goes wrong it goes spectacularly wrong!

As some of you know I have a number of plots, the one it went wrong with was 53, on arrival yesterday I found that 3 apple and a fig tree on my plot had been chopped down....why...because the supervisor wasnt supervising!

Needless to say I was furious...what did the council say.....oh dear!

Will I leave it there......of course.......NOT! Especially as no one can explain why they were even on my plot

Amazing Still life photos - some look like works of art. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-54546497
Maybe it will inspire your photo entries for next year's Harvest Festival.

Got a few of these growing along the burn at the plot.

   

   

Own up - don't be embarrassed.

Are there any words that make you laugh? Perhaps they trigger a memory of something funny or they sound silly when you say them. 
Please share as I don't want to be the only Nutter on here. 

At the mooment I can't say "Moo cow" without giggling..............I can't even write it, because it sets me off giggling again. My eyes have started to leak as I think of it.

Its quite a recent thing from a phone call to my brother. I'd bought some milk for my Mum and my brother asked me if it was organic - I told him I didn't know but it had a Moo cow on the label - then I started laughing and it wasn't helped when he asked me how old I was, was I 6!!

Please, if you ever meet me or call me don't make me say the M word. 

 Hodmedod's sell UK grown beans, peas and grains and some other stuff for eating. Can't see any reason why they couldn't be used for growing as well as cooking.  Sow some, eat the rest. 
Some of their products aren't viable - like the split peas and the tins of beans  but most of this Big box should be:-
