    Morning Pips!

    Remember those ornamental allium seeds the OH FB'd you about? Well I now have two different varieties & have g00gled more than I ever wanted to know about them!

    Today was garden waste day & we found a giant tumbleweed in the middle of the Close - turns out it was a giant seedhead - a puffball allium! - NOT the one in my garden which is only about 1/4 of the size! So, have duly rescued said seedbomb from the gales and monsoons we are having today & it is inside the house drying out! Both varieties of seeds shall be on their way to you in due course!
