I grew these on the workshop balcony.Sweet peas are such good value; pretty colours like tissue paper, fragrant, and you have to pick them to keep the flowers coming.
Mantelpieces are like secular altars. I put small things I like on there, and change them around now and then.
Except for the careful use of the serial comma, this has nothing to do with writing. I'm being self-indulgent.
Sweet peas have always been one of my favorite homegrown flowers. When I was 9, my mother allowed me to plant a small circular garden in the corner of our yard. I put in mostly sweet peas, and I was thrilled when my efforts were paid back in spades.
ReplyDeleteSweet peas grow wild along the sides of the roads here in northern California, and I admire them as I whiz by at high speed, but somehow the homegrown and home-watched bring me so much more pleasure. Thanks for reminding me what I need to plant next year in our yard.

Yay for the cereal comma, they're not just for breakfast anymore. ;-)
