Alfie!

I woke up this morning to find that one of my Lemon Balm cuttings has become Alfie's latest play-thing.


So armed with a fresh cutting, my next point of action was this:



Try and get at them now, you little swine!!

Bye bye babies!

Because of the problem I'm having with windowsill space and the fact that we have two little monsters and 3 moggies, and that's 4 hands and 12 paws, I decided to go take some of my seedlings to my Mums and store them in her mini-greenhouse (the one I originally bought and then gave to her when hubby bought me the 6x4 plastic one). So you might not see me update on their progress for a little while, but she does only live a few doors away, so I should hopefully be able to snap some progress pics.

I've got lots of re-potting to do today: Coriander, Chilli Pepper, Dill, Chives, Thyme, Cauliflower and Cabbage..... I won't mention it to hubby though. I think he's a little worried I'm bringing the "green"house indoors. It's only really until my new greenhouse gets delivered.

Another Sunflower got re-homed yesterday. I think that leaves about 20-odd remaining. Jessica has talked me into keeping 9 now and I'm thinking they're gonna love it at the back of our garden, against the back fence. When we get back from our holiday I'm going to get some more of the turquoise fence paint and freshen it up a bit.

It's raining outside, the heating is on and I'm enjoying a nice cuppa tea in the kitchen whilst the kids play upstairs. Life couldn't get much better.

Oh and happy 1st unnofficial anniversary hubby! - A few days late, but still :)

Bad Monty!

This morning I let the cats out as normal and after going to relieve themselves (I'm guessing that's what they needed to do!) - I caught Monty having a good sniff at the strawberry plants. A second later, I caught him biting at the flowers and I actually caught him mid-bite, before spraying him with some water.


Having plants around my cats is such a bad idea.... It was Alfie pulling up the Sunflowers a few days ago. The buggers!

All seedlings are doing very well and without wanting to bore you with pictures galore of all of them, I've uploaded progress pics to my Flickr account and I shall continue to do so. So if I've not posted a pic of a particular thing I'm growing on my blog. Be sure to find it here.

Also potted up some Morning Glory last night, for my front garden. Can't wait to see if they do actually come through. Got my Cornflower Blue Balls through the post this morning, so might pot them tonight.

Things I'm waiting for: Common Fennel seeds, Border Auriculas (young plant) and some Lemon Balm seeds.

Bad Alfie!

Maybe not so much a good day. Just caught my youngest cat, Alfie snatch a sunflower seedling out of the tray which is sitting on my kitchen windowsill.

What is it with our cats??
