Everything had developed.<br /><br />Welcome Gnman - Maybe not really time off but it was a lovely visit and since when did gardeners really ever get time off gardening. When we rent cottages here and abroad for holidays I have to resist doing a bit of weeding!!!<br /><br />Hi Vrtlarica - the leaves would look equally at home in an ornamental border - they look good growing alongside marigiolds.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33294007.post-2450140434009801522010-08-04T12:33:43.039+00:002010-08-04T12:33:43.039+00:00Lovely beetroot varieties!
