Subject: RE: BS: Raiding gardens when I was a lad
I used to knick the cherry tomatoes out of our garden and ears of corn and cantaloupe from neighbours garden.   My brother used to steal turnips, though I don't know why.

And I loved sucking the nectar out of honeysuckle blossoms. Can anyone explain why honeysuckle in the UK has little or no fragrance compared to Virginia honeysuckle?

Also there were these tiny purple flowers with broad leaf (weeds Mom called them) growing on our lawn which had a sweet drop of nectar you could suck out. Anybody know what they are?
