Garden And Gossip Forums

Each day, for the next 26 days, we're going to play I-Spy and find plants in our gardens/countryside, starting with that letter - photos especially welcome. 

If you can't find a plant, find something else - be inventive.

Tomorrow's letter is A

To make it more challenging, Points will be allocated for each item and we'll keep a running total to see who finds the most. For example, Turnips, Teasels and Tarragon would score 3 points. If they were on a Table it would be 4 points.

I spy with my little eye malus domestica.

You're so impatient, Mikey. Come back tomorrow, with photos!!

I've added an extra "rule" too.

It’s like saying I’ve made chocolate cake but you can’t have any. Huh. If I say A tomato, does that count.

If your tomato was an "Ailsa Craig" it would count as an A. Otherwise its a T or an S.

Ok I Spy with my little eye, not a lot it’s still dark.
