It Was............

Sorry for the delay in posting, I got carried away decorating, and before you tell me off I took it easy, having breakfast, elevenses, lunch and afternoon stops! I needed to do something to get my motivation going again, as I was slowly sliding down that hole!
Anyway, you where all wrong its here.............




its a solar tube We have an inside bathroom and a neighbour had one of these solar tubes, we where so impressed we got one ourselves! They let in a load of light, the only downside is if your sitting on the loo, and a large bird (crow, seagule etc) flies over, for a split second it goes dark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But to be honest if your looking at getting one I can highly recommend them!

My Ensete has grown some more


and a second one has sprouted.......


My propagator is not really big enough for my tropical plants, but is fine for getting the veg seeds off to a good start. Bearing this in mind I started looking for a new Prop, I liked the look of this one but at £100 it would remain a dream. So imagine my joy when I found one For Sale in the local ads paper at less than half the price!!! Yes I did get it, I will post pics when its set up in the greenhouse!

Off out to play now.

Out in the Garden!

The washing was out early, even though it was cold it was lovely and sunny.



I planted some of the tulip bulbs and got some pansies and violas to pop in the top





Now dotted around the garden.

I did the front window box as well



Underneath those plants are 100 bulbs, all planted at different depths, I hope it will look good in the spring.
Then I did as Monty told us on Gardeners World last Friday, I sowed some greenmanure




the packet said sow now wait 40 days, then dig in!!!! I wonder if it will grow in 40 days? Whilst I was clambering around I found a baby butternut squash, my one and only
this year, well it has 2 chances.................



Then the postman came with this


I swopped some Brugmansia's for it



so is potted up and in the greenhouse for the moment, but won't be there for long



would you like to know what it is? A Tetrapanax Papyrifer Rex. I have coveted one for ages. So thank you very much S.

Anyway this is what it will look like eventually, I got these pics here this guy is a member of the UK Oasis forum
