Flowering vegetables

Leek flowers

This is one of summer’s prettiest sights. And yet it’s just a boring old leek.

Quite a lot of vegetables have lovely flowers. Potatoes, for example, can be gorgeous on a bright summer day. French beans have tiny, perfect little flowers.

Got  a bit burned at the allotment today. Looks like summer may finally be here. Er, at last.
