Day 4 of the blog challenge, in which I am trying to blog
every day for a week. I wouldn’t say I’m running out of words yet. Not really.
I just wanted to share some pictures with you, that’s all. Totally not cheating.
 |
| The sun has returned! |
 |
| Fru fru snapdragons. Whenever I see them, I sing Copacabana to myself. |
 |
| Carnations starting to flower. |
 |
| First rose of the summer. |
 |
Borage is pleasingly ugly (like a pair of Clarks shoes) and it self-seeds EVERYWHERE
(like here, in the middle of our path). But the bees love it. |
 |
| Nasturtiums coming up. Planning to use these in salads this summer. |
 |
| More alliums starting to flower and, so far, surviving Barney's Reign of Terror. |
 |
Verbena seedlings sown about two months ago. They are the slowest growing things ever.
Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? |
 |
| Cosmos, beheaded by Barney, The Naughtiest Cat in the World. |
 |
| Baby grapes. |
 |
| Obligatory wonky polytunnel shot. Still wonky. Still standing. |
 |
| Tomato plants doing well and ready for staking. My wrinkly old crone finger included for scale. |
 |
| KALE! |
 |
On a whim, we decided to make a new flower bed for all my seedlings. The picture doesn't do it justice - it's 4m wide!
The bastard cats are thrilled that we've made them such a large litter tray. |
