Thhis damn rain is making things grow so fast! Not always flowering though, but here are some pics I took yesterday when the sun came out and the rain had stopped for half an hour!
Some of my unruly front garden too..te middle section was strewn with hundreds of wild flower seeds..but I think there are maybe weeds! In the fron at the bottom is something that looks like Campula but I’m not sure if it is or not..I stole a cutting from one of the school’s gardens lol…shhhhh!

Lol well I heard the frog last night, not seen it for a while. My cat went out and headed straight towards the pond and all I heard was plop plop plop lol then i caught a quick glimpse of it!

You need to feed the cat more often!

Haha oh she wouldn't kill it she jsut likes to chase things. Sometimes we have mice under the shed and she kills them eventually but never eats them..just leaves a present on the backdoor step for me. She just sits and watchs the birds when they come to feed..but has never killed one. She gets fed better than me at times LOL!

Ahhh thought it was, it looks brilliant, I could fancy a mirror, I was given one a couple of years ago, i stood it against the fence to see if it looked right, stood back to look, and it fell, broke into a zillion pieces :))) I havent tried another one since...Loving your garden :)

11 Jul, 2011

 

OMG lol..jsut make sure you secure them properly! If you even get another one..I got all mine from the charity shops! Cheap!
Look under mirrors you will see the one at the side of the secret door :)
