I had to recycle my marigold photo for this post, as the plants have been drying out for a while and there are no flowers in sight. I collected their seeds while digging over the garden and this is the result: a heap of organic seeds ready to be dispatched to gardening friends and family. I used small brown 'wage' envelopes (left over from previous years!) and decorated each with watercolour illustrations. 

Can't wait to plant some new things- probably just practical stuff like salad greens and maybe some beetroot, my favourite vegetable of all time.

My small piece of escapism arrived today in the form of Liivia's blog – do you know it? It's beautiful, and I was imagining I was standing at this window, looking out.

    lovely! i bought marigold plants this year and their colour is my favourite in the garden. do you let the flowers dry and then shake out the seeds? i must investigate as i’d love to have many more flowering next year and share some with friends too 🙂 totally with you on beetroot by the way…we are enjoying our first harvest right now. happy weekend from here in autumnal england xx

    This is such a beautiful idea. I can’t wait to get out of a college dorm and into a place where I can have a beautiful garden!
