Here’s a flower that my son picked for me. It was beautiful.
Growing Up
So, after a few weeks this is how the vegetable patch is starting to look. There’s cabbage and maize.
And here’s our tomato collection. The problem is how to stop the dog eating the ripe toms.
Cress
Along with the veg patch we are now growing cress in the kitchen. Really looking forward to harvest time.
Hanging Basket
A friend of WW made this lovely hanging basket for us. Nice.
Reptile!
This communication was going to be called Snake! but it turns out this would have been very incorrect. Last night once my boys were in bed we noticed a “snake” in the garden.
It’s a shame that my boys weren’t awake to see it. I think they would have been fascinated. WW took these photos and then I looked on a website to see what kind of snake it was. Turns out it’s a slow worm and not a real snake. Just a lizard that has evolved in such a way as to remove its legs.
Just love living in the countryside.
Fields of Green
Rape fields out the back of my house. Going to miss this when we move (eventually).
Keeping Watch
Here’s the dog keeping watch over my sons playing in the garden.
Clematis
Here’s a picture of our clematis. Looks lovely. Also, given the dog ate all but one of the main stalks three years ago I’m surprised in got this far.
No pak choi ahoy
So my vegetable plot grew well but my pak choi are gone! Not eaten by humans though.
See the carcass of my work:
All done by these:
Mind you it’s been a good talking point with my son. Haven’t trapped any in a jam jar, will do that next year when he’s older.
Nearly fully grown
My vegetables nearly ready to eat.
