I hope that you get a good rainy season. Drought is not good at all!!

From your keyboard to God's ears! We have just come through a three-year drought - you might have seen my frequent references to dust and even one which explains why we will always have a dustbowl instead of grass outside our kitchen door!

The flavour of flowers - you are so right. It amazes me how many people pick them out! One wouldn't put them in a salad if they weren't edible, would one? I've never had radish flowers - must give them a go. I love borage - also a great companion plant with sweet basil.

And as for the new potatoes with mint: that's how I grew up eating them - and with fresh, chopped parsley. We so rarely get them now, and when I do have them - like that, I'm transported back to my childhood table.

Bon appetite!
