    They are, these are two left over after I planted the rest down the plot for cutting, they have a weird smell about them, not sure if it's unpleasant or not, lol, but I have kind of got to like it, and as for the cleome I swear that smells like an illegal substance!!:heehee:

      I somehow missed this thread until now. Fantastic work, Mr and Mrs Chopper! The garden looks wonderful.

        You guys have done a great job there
        Lots of hard work but well worth the effort
        BUT ... you really also need to get out there with a nice glass of wine or similar and enjoy the fresh air and the fruits of your labour
        Otherwise it just becomes a chore :)
        I will be sitting over by the pond this evening with a gin and tonic listening to the birds and admiring the beauties of nature
        Why not join me in your own garden and have one on me? :)
