It's all about ME!


In Jake's world everything is about him; when I squat down to tend a plant I am clearly realising that the paving is a little cold and hard for his tastes and offering him the opportunity to sit on my "lap" and naturally, when I decided to sink some pots into the soil, so wonderfully close to the edge of the flower bed, I an politely providing him with a choice of watering holes; most silly of me to leave that pesky plant so inconveniently in the way ;p



Also, whilst clearly less awesome than cat I shall take a moment to extol the glory of the mega-radish... almost seems a shame to eat it!

Weekend Photos - New Additions


Above are some baby chilli plants from Angela - these will live inside I think and should make for some lovely spicy dinners

Two new variants of tomato plant - one of these is the massive beefsteak variety :D


And some of my own additions - on the left we have courgettes coming through and on the right my second (far more sensible) sowing of runner beans.
