In January Madame Fromage told us How to Make a Downton Abbey Cheeseplate, today, I propose a Game of Thrones cast of characters drawn from my garden, where crazy weather has nurtured freaks and monsters galore.

Sadly no contenders presented themselves for some cast members, Daenerys, Bran and Ned Stark notably. And I belatedly realized I should have snapped a pic of the potato plant fruit that appears occasionally late summer as a perfect representative of Joffrey...a cheery tomato-looking thing that is deadly, DEADLY poison (they don't call them Nightshade for nothing you know.) But I didn't so you'll have to imagine that one, or google it.

You have better in your garden or larder? Bring it on.

So here we go...a homegrown cast.

The original beauty, aging and a bit battered, Catelyn

Cersei

Straight and true, Robb


Bent but not broken, Jon Snow


Littlefinger...


The Grand Maester Pycelle


The lovely Sansa


Rough and ravaged on the top, The Hound


Two roots, Theon


Stubby and a little ugly, Tyrion


The original monster, Twyin Lannister


Varys. 'nuff said.
