Entries from August 2010 ↓

Here are my beans coming on strong in late July. I know it is a bit late to post this, but I am catching up with things as I’ve been a bit slack this year. Sorry.

There is something enigmatic about lupins that I love each year. I cant quite put my finger on it, but I love the way they are so vibrant and silky.

Nature has such beauty, it makes me want to cry sometimes.

Here are the Aliums again. I couldn’t resist taking more photos. 🙂

Looks sweet doesn’t it? It’s much bigger now and on the plot growing fast in the recent hot weather. I’m hoping for a lot of squash this year as I have plenty of recipes I want to try. I’ll tell you if they work nearer the time.;)

I bought these as bulbs from Wilko. I didn’t think they would come to much as I have bought from them before and they are poor. However, I was pleasantly surprised when these came up and were just what I had hoped for.

The reason I put them in a pot was that my slugs are voracious eaters and I only had a short copper band. Now I know they will grow I will find a larger one.

These spiders decided to be born on my recycling bin for some reason. There were hundreds of them on the bin for a week, then they were gone, off to eat insects and spin their webs…………..

I didn’t disturb them, I like spiders, I just wish they would eat slugs and ants…. 😉

I went to the seaside recently and this boat looked so unloved and alone. I bet it had some stories to tell…………….
