What´s the taste of dahlias?
The photo is beautiful, a very nice Still Life, worthy of the Dutch Masters, who would have liked to have then some tomatoes for a red note.

Wonderful, your garden of "eaten".
It looks like you two have green fingers ...

Thank you all for your comments. At the time I thought I could try to be bit more artistic about the way I set the vegetables out, but then, I thought, I am not so into staging and order (my ideal is an English cottage garden rather than a formal French one), so they just ended up where they did, the only concession, being to move the dahlias out of the middle and towards the side.

Excellent capture, & I learned what the Brit's call Zucchini; my day is complete!

Ha ha....well it is another French import to our language. The Dutch use the same word as well. In England we call a large courgette a marrow (which sounds altogether more English, although by the time they get so big, they have lost their flavour). Do you have marrows over there?
CharlesFred 58 months ago | reply
The dahlias are still flowering and providing colour to the house. Although they smell very nice when picking them, I have never felt the desire to eat them.
The sad thing about the red tomatoes is that they suddenly went brown and collapsed on us, infested as they were with little creatures. They are now making compost.

Sorry to hear about the tomatoes, at least somthing else enjoys them.
JRobFifty 58 months ago | reply
Hmmm, well no we don't have marrows in the states, but I can see why you like these phallic veggies!
CharlesFred 58 months ago | reply
Like I said, we like the small courgettes, not the large marrows.

Well Stewart, there are more where they came from and Fred had taken the precaution of making green tomato chutney from the tomatoes when they were still green...

Such bounty and a beautiful photo lay out - it is very reminiscent of something in a nice oil painting. Lovely.
