Look at that! My first ever Grown In A Seed Tray seeds. They’ve only been in for five days and some of them are sprouting wildly. OK, maybe *wild* is a bit of an exxageration…but if you click on the picture, you WILL see little green shoots.
There is something about planting some seeds and waiting [...]
J12, with her interest in all things beautiful, planted flower seeds….her sense of order compelled her to make little lines in the tray and add name cards. A *scarecrow* to keep the birds away may end up attracting them as it is, in reality, a beautiful butterfly.

The potatoes are hiding underneath those poking-out-of-the-ground-sticks, which you can see if you click on the photo. The teepee (which ended up being made out of ti-tree, including one branch a neighbour cut down [...]
Inspired by my little pot-planting with the mosquitos at dusk last night, I’m ready to tackle the “side garden”. We dug an outline for it a year or so ago and since then the grass clippings have been piling up there!I’m really keen on Woodrow’s permaculture ideas……I knew I wanted to make a teepee with [...]
Garden Progress:
Yesterday I bought some potting mix and compost. Oh it hurt to *buy* those things!!
Two days ago I had bought a mint seedling and a coriander.
Oh yeah, you know how mint is impossible to kill and it is rampant and will take over your whole garden if you don’t put it in a pot? [...]
We plant sunflowers every year ~how could you go through a summerwithout having them to smile at anyonewho takes the time to stop and *appreciate*?
