See how this same lotus pond looks alike during dry season - completely covered with dense growth of large white lotus flowers.

Now the lotus pond has turned into a valuable resource of lotus as vegetable for the nearby little farm house and its hard working family.
A lotus pond at one time may be a source of fish or other aquatic life, then turn into a source of edible delicious lotus seeds or lotus vegetables. All year long lotus ponds always are an enrichment for its neighbors or owners.

Today I'm feeling really exhausted. Although it's lovely talking to all the visitors, I can feel my throat going.

Earlier in the week I had to go into the Telegraph Gardening Theatre to give a talk about beekeeping and my garden. I was absolutely dreading it. When I went in I was offered a hand-mike or an earpiece; and, not wanting to look like Madonna, I went for the mike which they told me I had to rest under my chin when I spoke.

Thank goodness I was sharing my talk with Rosie Hardy, as she had brought loads of plants and is an old hand at this sort of thing!

Needless to say, I was asked about beekeeping. I managed OK but at the end I had to ask the audience a question. So I asked what was the colour spectrum that bees preferred, someone knew the answer - ultraviolet i.e. blues and purples, like my planting.

Rachel de Thame came to film on my garden yesterday - she was very complimentary and said we should have got a Gold! I told her that I was upset at having to miss my children's school play and she said she was missing something of her children's too.

Later on we had Joe Swift and a couple of bee experts filming an interview on my bench. So, one way and another, the garden really has been buzzing.

I hid myself in the apiary for a phone call to my children (it must have sounded strange to the visitors outside !) I wanted to wish them luck for their play and give them special permission to stay up late and see mummy on television.

I really have missed them this week but they're coming to the show on Saturday with my husband - I can't wait.
