An Eye Catching New Face.

This Dahlia called Leonardo

 caught my eye ( and jumped into my trolley ) at the garden Centre, along with a collarette type in pale lemon.

 It's flower looks more like a daisy.

 This is the area where we pulled out a huge old flax plant late last year. It is filling in nicely and is quite bright. 

 The little patch of new grass eventually grew and is very bright green.

 Inside the house I have been making attempts to use some surplus tomatoes.

 Roasting them first till they look like this,

 Then pulling the skins off and making soup.
