Today I spent some time in Nonno’s garden.  He had some beautiful basil plants for sale – out the front of the garden on the footpath. Two of them ended up in my car.

I also marvelled at the Hollyhocks with their tall and big flowers. Just have a look at the busy bee pollinating!

Nonno’s garden is always a treasure trove of plants – not 1cm laying idle. 

He pruned the fig tree to a stump last year and I thought it was curtains down for that fig tree, but I was proven wrong. It has taken off again!

He also has row and rows of seedlings – so much so that he had to put a fence up to deter the neighbourhood “help yourself to my veggies” brigade from taking it all. He spends countless hours keeping an eye out for these bandits while also regularly napping on the porch. Not a bad way to be at 82 years old huh?
