Mechanical light

Shopping in a Dutch supermarket can be tricky. I came home with a large bag of beautiful, shining, tiny bulbs and spent all afternoon planting them around the garden. Then I looked up "Red Karmen" in an online dictionary. Anyone need  a sackful of red onions in a few months just let me know.

Henry's invisible wife has definitely moved back in next door with Henry and brought her Russian boyfriend. He is even more paranoid than the invisible wife. Every time I leave or come back home there is a batman- blur moment as he dives for cover behind the gate or the curtains (depending on whether he is inside or out).

What very curious neighbours. They must provide hours of innocent pleasure. Could the invisible wife be tempted to reveal herself with onions, do you think?

He is thinking that anyone who plants onions carefully amongst the flowers could be dangerous.

I'll be sure to update the news.

Of course if you don't eat them, the onions will probably burst gratefully into flower, though the scent might be a bit distracting on a hot day.

Always a delight to hear about your neighbors, they sound more and more like a surreal novel.

If anyone remarks on the onions in your borders, you could explain that the smell keeps away aphids.

mig:I hadn't thought they might smell! Hopefully all my bee attracting plants will smother that...

Z:I have garlic next to the rose bush but how to get rid of deadly green leaf beetles?
