Brain fog clearing





I really could NOT recall the name of the 2,000 prolific seed plant until I was looking at seeds this morning in Charlies.  It was Nicotiana sylvestris.  Very pretty in flower.

Just going out in the garden again as still so much to do out there, weeding and digging and planting.  A slightly cooler day today, which is just as well!  I am going full circle with some of the plants I have in pots, which have been self-seeded, divided etc and taking them to a car boot sale tomorrow, whilst my OH holds the fort here.  Hopefully they will sell and give me some money to pay for more screening at the back of the Paul's Himalayan Musk rose at the back of the garden as the dead branches have broken away a bit and you can See The Yard (which as you know, Will Never Do!)

  1. Masses of it along the lanes at the moment. Wait until the Council come and cut it all down to make the countryside look "tidy". . . .

  2. I have a few pots left to plant up and then I can start on the weeding. Your garden looks beautiful.

    God bless.

    1. It looks better now I pulled half a wheelbarrow full of weeds and grass out of the stony side today! This is the best time of year for that bit, then the roses come out and it's WOW!!!

    1. I have newt tadpoles in that pond now, and a few surviving frog tadpoles too. The main pond lost nearly all its frog tadpoles - virus I think as two dead frog parents found outside afterwards.

    1. So do I - I can just stand and watch it for ages - lots of water-loving insects in there, along with the tadpoles and snails and newts.

  6. Hi Chip. We have two ponds. This is the main one, with the goldfish in. The little wildlife pond just has . . . wildlife. Glad you like the Why We Moved series. There may be a bit more.
