We had several days of heavy rain and then went away for a couple of days, so we’ve come home to find that the weeds have grown …
Après quelques jours de pluie forte nous sommes partis pour deux jours, donc nous sommes revenus à trouver que les mauvaises herbes ont poussé …

and the mangetout peas are flowering, as pretty as sweet peas / et les petit pois mangetous fleurissent, aussi jolies que les pois de senteur:

>Those pea blossoms certainly are as pretty as sweet peas. The complex, subtle colors of them never cease to amaze me.
>Your apricots look quite big, ours are a bit smaller!
>I’m always sorry to see the flowers of climbing peas fade – they are so attractive in their own right. I’m still waiting for mine to show above ground!
