Vegetable delights


We had some rather "top end" visitors to the garden the other day. 

The owner of one of the local perfume houses (for which Grasse is world-famous); an immaculately dressed lady, all dark glasses and pearls; came for a look around the garden. I was weeding the new potager, which five months ago was a bare terrace; she had a long look up and down the rows of tomatoes, chard, the box balls, sculpture and oblongs of calade and pronounced it...

"Sophisticated" 

I could’ve kissed her.
It's amazing what a difference a few months can make: February, April, June and July
