On the subject of flowers and vegetables, so beautifully presented by Susan and Sarah, I just have to say that whilst I am definitely not renowned for my knowledge of plants, I actually seem to have managed the ultimate in ideal Corfu greenery - I have a combined Bougainvillea/tomato plant - beauty and nutrition!
Somehow or other some of the sun dried tomatoes managed to fall off their tray into the Bougainvillea and in the spirit that 'anything grows in Corfu' decided that the Bougainvillea plant was a good home - hence a large number of very healthy tomatoes.
Having said that, the downside of my garden is that the Gardenia given to me as a present by my daughter at Easter, having delivered a flower every two or three days for the first couple of months, was then excavated by the dog, rescued by me, replanted, survived about a week but after 're-excavation' by dog finally gave up the ghost. In fact, virtually every other plant in the garden has suffered the same fate. Perhaps next year he will have outgrown this antisocial habit and I can have a garden with flowers (and tomatoes) again.
