That's beautiful, Marianne!! I made the rash decision of letting OH do ours this year.......Don't know what came over him, he has no interest in gardening, apart from the eating bit, hence, I won't be posting a pic of ours!!! Lottie ;)

Dibber, Gardengirl, Val, Lottie : Thank you very much for your kind words !!! :D We have the same baskets in the red and the pink but only the whites have grown so big !!!

And yes at night, the smell is divine !

Lottie : Strange you say that about your OH ;D My OH has gone overboard too this year and has worked non stop for me in the garden, and yet he hates gardening.... I am sure it's the attraction of those fat radishes and the plump lettuces which helped ::) ;D ;)

Marianne. WOW that is lovely!! I usually think my baskets are pretty good but really dissapointed this year. Only thing different is that they were put out much later this year because we were still getting such cold winds. Oh well can't win them all the time. Yours is beautiful Lorna.
