Thursday in the garden

It's Thursday again. Sadly today will be a short post as Toddlerbean has thoughtfully shared her rather snotty cold with mum. So she's not up to much gardening at the moment. Of course it has nothing to do with the fact she spent the last two days painting the doorsteps and exterior windowsills. That's right mum, you blame Toddlerbean *tut*.

The baby tomato plants have grow lots and have since been re-potted. They were a gift from one of our neighbours. they very kindly gave us 22 tomato plants. Only, mum doesn't like tomatoes. Oh well, if you need some, you'll know who to ask.

Mum did manage to plant up a new planter with three Clematis Montanas in different colours (sadly no flower until next year) and a mixed lot of Trailing Lobelia

Some of our old Lobelia plants are starting to flower. Mum bought two trays of WHITE Lobelia. There always has to be one that's different, doesn't there?

This is what they're supposed to look like!

We hope you enjoyed our short but sweet gardening post. Don't forget to visit all our other gardening friends.

Almost Wordless Wednesday

Something is eating our Cat Mint! Time to return the favour. Om nom nom nom!

Don't worry, mum didn't let us eat him. He was popped into a jar and taken to Toddlerbean's Pre-school for Show and Tell. They're learning about Mini Beasts this term. He was then released back onto the Cat Mint so he can become a beautiful butterfly and then we'll eat him.

Mum would like to say thank you for all the birthday messages, they mean so much to her. She promises she will get back to visiting all our friends soon, but yesterday was the third anniversary of her grandfather's death. So she's feeling a bit down at the moment.

She would also like to share with you this brilliant birthday card her mum had made for her.

You may need to bigify!

Thursday In the Garden with Charlie O'Marley

Good Thursday everyone! As today is my 1st Gotcha Day, mum said that I could do this weeks gardening post. So today I thought I'd show you some of the interesting garden related pictures mum has taken with the flashy box. I like it when mum is busy taking garden pictures as it generally means she leaves us alone.

Above is a close up of a Herb Robert flower. A type of wild Geranium that grows mainly in lawns and grassy areas. Can you believe that this beautiful flower is considered a weed? Mum thinks it is far too pretty to get rid of.

Above is a picture of a Clematis Montana bloom. This is one of mum most favourite plants in the garden. It takes very little effort to look after and it always rewards what little effort you do put in with a cascade of dusty pink flowers. It's such a great climber that it is also great for hiding any ugly parts of the garden. Not that any garden has any ugly parts.

Ah, my old nemisis. The humble bumble bee.

I hope you enjoyed my gardening post today and the beautiful pictures that mum has taken. Please don't forget to visit out other gardening friends.

Wordless Wednesday - Little Huntress

Puss In Boots

There is a new cat in our house! Puss In Boots! Not really, today is Book Character Day at Toddlerbean's pre-school. A day when the children have to dress up as characters from popular children's stories. ToddlerBean wanted to go dress as a cat, so mum found a pair of grey boots and ta-da, Puss In Boots!

What a cute kitty!

P.S. Mum is hoping to get some free time this weekend to visit and catch up with all our friends. We've missed you!
