What A Find.......

I decided today, that it was time to check under my netting to see if the cauliflower heads were starting to form. After fighting my way into it, I noticed something blue…….Now…the one thing that I have found with making your own compost, is that occasionally, you can get things growing where they really shouldnt be. Today though, it was something very special……..


Its a Datura………I remember growing these from some T&M seeds a couple of years ago…….Its a bit beaten about by the hailstones from last week and it has a lot of blackfly….thats from some Nastersiums that I have also found in there too, but how lucky I was to notice it………So its now dug up and potted, sprayed with soapy water to get rid of the bugs and hopefully it will recover and put on a good show…….Im over the moon, but dont know what SP will say about yet another pot……………not that I take any notice……..Just goes to show…..it always pays to Use your own to Grow your own……..
