Haven't read the last couple of days, so no idea what's going on in your worlds, but I hope all is well.
Grey and drizzle for the last 2 days here, and I don't expect it to change any time soon. Have been doing lots of gardening though; pricking out seedlings, potting on, new plantings, moving things about etc. The Swallows are back! Not sure where they're making their nest yet; hopefully under the car ports like the last 2 years. It was so lovely to see them zooming over the field, from my study window on Friday. Yesterday, there were 4 kestrels squawking about over the garden. Looked like an adult and 3 babes, fab. And whilst clearing out bits of the Pampass Grass, I discovered a nest with 5 eggs, right in the middle of it! Amazing. Will leave them be, and let the Pampass do it's thing for now. Blimey, I feel like Bill Oddie!
Love that transformation piccy above Figrat. Might have to trawl back for the last few pages now.
Seriously overgrown bed dug over with compost and sharp sand. Digitalis, Saxifrage and Hostas planted. Quite pleased with my efforts and can't wait to see it once it's grown in a bit

I don't think so or the blackbirds would be harassing your chooks.
Well, I don't think they taste like bananas, Geoff,--but I will wait for Kate's report. Perhaps more like okra? Is Kate making gumbo?

Thought I would share this photo of a friend's garden in Canada's Northwest Territories. Strange plants!
Fish fertilizer? Actually, dried fish to feed the dog team in the winter.
Someone over did the blood fish and bone
A couple more before and afters.
My nephew who's now a towering 18 year old! (And probably the same sheets on the line Geoff)
Evening All,
Just a quick check in.
