Whats the story, Morning Glory?

Wow, they certainly speak for themselves this morning, don't they?


Elsewhere in the garden space (or should I say - the windowsill space) the Lobelia has shot up!


The Radish is certainly loving the view from my living room!

And believe it or not, I have new leaves from the Auricula plant that I received from the Garden Swap Shop site the other day. The outer leaves look like they're dying away a little. But they look no different to when I received it. Fingers crossed it likes it's new home!


I've spent the early part of this morning (I know it's still early) pinching the new runners from my strawberries. Apparently that's what you're meant to be doing around this time of year. Found a few slugs in the pot... Must remember to add some kind of slug repellent, any recommendations? Strawberries must love their sunny location though, as the fruit is starting to form (only really small) and turning red. Doesn't look like we'll get healthy size strawberries this year.


List of things to do today:

Plant some Agapanthus White African Lily seeds
Re-pot Peppers & Chilli Peppers
Re-pot lavender
and possibly re-pot the Morning Glory (but might wait a few days longer)

P.S: The postie has just delivered a lovely parcel from Dobies. Ooh it's like Christmas!
I've got: Aster, Candytuft, Agastache & Sage *big grin* - Now.... where to stash them?

Photo update

I wouldn't normally blog so much in one day, but I feel as though my blog looks a little on the boring side. As both my previous posts don't have any photos. So heres a quick 'update' post.

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.
