Hi Locket Pocke...Hi Terry - scent! yes that too...<br /><br />Hi Locket Pocket - hope you got the broad beans sown.<br /><br />Hi Dom - The weather was pretty crap - did you get some gardening done? <br /><br />Hi Gina - well done for saving the seed!<br /><br />Hi Damo and Flower Garden - hope your broad beans are doing well.<br /><br />Hi Chicken Lover and Skybluepinkish - good to get started after such a long hard winter!<br /><br />Hi Chrissie - Muntjac - little b***ers!<br /><br />Hi Fiona and Lesley - but have you tasted home grown broad beans cooked freshly picked? And the ones I grow have thin tender skins too - no need to peel them. I think I could convert you ;-)<br /><br />Hi Nome - good luck with the allotment this year :-)<br /><br />Hi Catherine - sounds like the garden is great therapy for your husband.<br /><br />Hi Petoskystone - I like your geological/ecosystem view.<br /><br />Hi Carrie - hope your garden and allotment are slowing coming to life.<br /><br />Hi Plantaliscious - nothing is ever perfect in a garden, but sometimes the unexpected is better than the carefully planned. enjoy your broad beans.<br /><br /><br />Celia<br />xCelia Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776686088752602321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-44561805504616584702011-02-21T10:01:35.159+00:002011-02-21T10:01:35.159+00:00I like your orchestral metaphor.

When I am planning I sometimes listen to just one or two instruments, and have to drag myself back to check that the parts I am writing for them still work within the whole. I sowed some broad beans last week in pots, they are just starting to show. I wish I had room for more, I love them.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-18153928762094961362011-02-18T19:18:01.199+00:002011-02-18T19:18:01.199+00:00what a lovely post - the garden as music.

I love everything about it in any season but I shall reflect on the question and ask my husband later what he would say. On a discordant note I am in the 'broad bean haters' camp so they won't be getting a look in in my greenhouse. Sorry!
