Naughty!

I love our kitties, but sometimes they are so naughty! I went to water my seeds tonight & found one of the trays of pea seeds (in newspaper pots) had been knocked off the windowsill :(

One of them was shredded, so I’m assuming it was Noodle as he loves shredding things. Thankfully only three of the peas were lost, & we had some surplus anyway. The others I refilled with soil where necessary & hopefully they’ll be ok – some are 2cm tall now, & I’m going to plant them out this weekend if the weather is ok.

Naughty kitties!!

Winter wonderland …

So expect some photos of that in the next month or so!

Being winter, things in the garden have slowed right down. But click “Continue reading” for some photos from the last month or so. Continue reading

Rain, rain, go away …

… yes, I suppose you can come again another day. Only because we like our water tank to be filled, and it means I don’t have to stand outside for 45 mintues watering the garden by hand (seriously). Continue reading
