The strip!!

Just over a week ago, I decide to strip the leaves off my tomato's.  Because the sun was not getting to the fruit. 

Plus the leaves were not looking so good, curling up to heaven.

This is how they look now!!

Since then I have been busy harvesting the fruit...

Sorry!!!

To all who reads this. I just want to say Sorry!!
That I have not been updating.
As much as I would like to do............

Before the storm!

This is how my flower display look before Saint Swithin's Day.

After that (If I remember right) we had 6 days of rain none stop!

This is Yellow Cape Fuchsia or common name is Moonraker.

This is one of the plant's my mum bought.





The cat on the wall is one of mine!





This from my back door!

I want to change this part of the garden. But not sure what to do. I have noticed how much wildlife is coming into the garden,

Hoverfly's, Ladybird's Housesparrow's, Blackbird's and Bee's.

Lurpak Grow your own

I've been gathering the Lurpak Grow your own from Jekka Herb Farm

But I have only been able to get the Basil and Dill ones.

So two weeks ago I decided to have ago at grow them.

I have tryed peat pellets before and not had a greatest of luck.

So this was going to interesting.

I pick the dill ones...  On the back of the cardboard, is telling you what to do..  First soak the pellets for two hours,  I ended up leaving it a while longer.

Then find a pot to put it into.. 

I saved my Lurpak tub and put holes in it..

Once the soil was ready I poped it into the tub and put it in the greenhouse.

This is how it looked today!!

New Vistors

The last few weeks, I have had a new lot of visitors to the garden.

It started with House Sparrow's, some of the youngster

were coming in and getting the bugs and spiders.

 

Then I started putting wild bird food out for them.

The word must of got back to their parents. Because not long after

Mummy and Daddy sparrow started coming in to get some.

Sorry He wont stay put when I try to get picture of

For some reason I've been getting a Magpie coming and sitting on the bathroom roof.

"We all know the saying about them"

The Magpie as been picking on one of my cats (picture above of the cat in question)

Yep I've got cat's!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then I had a new cat visited. (picture above) Don't worrie

NO birds were in the garden at the time!!

Growing My Own Fruit And Salad

At the start of May my strawberry started to appear. 
The down side is I have only got 

about five plants, I suppose it's better than having none.

Picture below

 Been wondering is there a dandelion 

in with them?

Let me know what you think? :-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm not sure if Morrisons

know what tumbling (tiny tim) tomato's are!!!

I know they don't look very health.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm sad to sad I never got my Lollo Rollo. But I did get

enough lettuce and rocket to share with the family.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have to confess I've been keeping some think from you all.
I've been growing other tomato's and Chilli's and peppers

Putting them to bed!!

About a month ago the flower's died back on my Daffodil's and 

I decide to get them ready for bed.  

Just like the way I've been told my grand-dad use too do.



 

Just been put to bed
