Bees and birds have their share, we have ours: beans and beetroots, carrots and kohlrabi, cucumbers and courgettes leek and onions, several sorts of tomatoes, peppers and potatoes, apples and plums, hazel- and walnuts, not to forget all the herbs.
Plants amaze me, but not often enough. Utterly dependent we are on them, for oxygen, food, scenery, materials... I don't appreciate them often enough. Oh and the barley and malt and the grape. I raise my glass...
Wonderful presentation! I admire and envy people's gardens.I only had a few herbs growing in pots, on my balcony, a few years ago. But I was so proud of using my own herbs in soups and salads.I would have loved to grow lettuce and tomatoes. I regret now that I did not try.

Don't regret, Claude, start trying. Not sure about the lettuce, but growing tomatoes should be easy.
