What is it with cats and beds?
Grubby little horror. Still, at least he managed to get rid of all the soil before tracking it through the house...
This is the
magnolia stellata. It's still small - I don't think they grow all that big anyway - but the flowers are beautiful, and so fragrant...
Glorious weather today, so glorious I took an executive decisions to get away from the computer and go out and enjoy it. So, the courgettes are now in their planters, the cucumbers are potted on and in the GH, the happily sprouting cat mint is in the ground up by Roeg's Pool, and I've planted some of the marigold seeds from my birthday card. I've trimmed the grass around the small shrubs - my
spirea 'Goldflame' has
finally produced buds, I was beginning to think it had died over the winter - and weeded around the
prunus, which is in fine form with buds opening on every branch! Chuffed about that! I'll take photos when/if it flowers.
Also repotted my
begonia bowerii so it trails down the side of a terracotta pot - looks much better.
(What, you didn't think I went out to just
sit and enjoy the weather, did you? I don't have time for such an extravagance!)
While I was doing all that, K&K mortared my rotary drier spike into the ground (you might remember the bloody mole filled it with earth so I couldn't use it) and Kai signed his name and date in the wet concrete. It'll take a couple of days for it to dry properly, but then it'll be solidly rooted and I shouldn't have any more problems with it.
[grumble] Kai's taken a shine to watching
Most Haunted Live, which I absolutely can't stand (especially that bloody Derek Acorah. I find all mediums offensive, and him particularly so...) I think it's just a sprogly enjoyment of being frightened. I hope that's all it is, at any rate. He's also taken a liking to
Castaway, which I find less objectionable, though I don't watch it myself. Interesting the likes and dislikes he's developing!
Better get back to work. But here's something soft and fluffy - and grumpy and whingey - to leave you with...
