The peas on our allotment are SPECIAL. Oh yes! They are square...and if you are really clever (or bored) you can build blocks with them..like so! And no, no superglue was used, you cheeky lot!
Unfortunately the Gladioli are just normal, no super powers or anything. But they are rather beautiful in colour. They are also very traditional flowers to have on an allotment. Our were bought very cheaply from Lidls, and have been watched over anxiously ever since. I have never grown them before, and am so pleased with the result. they really liven up the bottom section of the plot.
And just to show some of you kind souls, who have worried that I have been working myself too hard... this is a typical Sunday evening in our household! Please note several things,
1) The dead mans arm on the television screen!
2) A couple of you may recognise certain cards on the mantlepiece!
3) And a couple more of you may notice the vase of dead flowers. They really are going to be thrown out today. Honest.
4) That is orange squash in my glass. What is happening to me?!! "Must not drink on a school night" perhaps? Nope. I just didn't like the wine!

Lovely peas! Ours are all scoffed now.
And I am looking enviously at yourt rabbit proof fence. I have just returned from the wasteland to find that rabbits and/or pigeons have eaten 30 of the 36 little plants we put in on Sunday, and are undoubtedly planning to come back for the rest this evening. Grrrr.
Don't like wine??!! The mind boggles, but there you go...orange squash is good though too ;o) LOVE your magic, sqaure peas--too cute! Glad you see you're getting to put your feet up a bit...so busy you are thesedays. Thanks so much for stopping by :o) ((BIG HUGS))
Just stopped by to read your blog - lovely square peas! I have just put mine in, so will let you know what they come out like - round or square - that is the question!!
after all that hard work you deserve to put your feet up. Gladioli bring back memories of when my dad used to grow them and they were bigger than me

Your square peas are fab! I love the gladioli as well ;-)
Your peas look so yummy maybe I could get our girls to eat some if they could build with them first lol
Good to see you both getting some well deserved Sunday night rest. And I spy my card on your fire place.
And in the other post is that the gorgeous red dotty Cath Kidston radio? how lovely if she left it as a good luck gift.
Many hugs.

Now what could you have been watching? Square peas remind me of some sweets I use to love but can't remember what they were called, mind you everything reminds me of sweets these days!!! Your gladioli look gorgeous, the old men at our old allotments would grow rows and rows of them, they always looked fab

I was given a big bag of gladioli bulbs last year they make beautiful cut flowers and last for ages!
Love your amazing peas and glad to see you've found time to put your feet up!
