I've got a swimming pool!





Heh. Fooled you didn't i?
I wish! but no...i was digging out the garden and found a paddling pool! it's completely wedged in under the soil:( and worst of all The Bearded Wonder won't be back for a while so i can't even ask him to help!
I have absolutely no idea how i am going to get it out, i don't know how big it is so can't really dig around it... hmmm. 

~In other happy news i did manage to transplant the parsley and basil, the basil looks slightly worse for wear, it's roots hadn't established as well as the parsley, but never mind, i'm sure it will survive :)

 And i took a quick peek at the potatoes, they are starting to grow full roots now so i added another layer of potting soil :) 

That's it really... not a lot else to report haha!


What are you up to today? :)

    I never get much luck with Basil outside, so I tend to keep them inside, we planted spuds a while back, so we can dig them up before we move, if we ever do that is xx

      I must admit, this is the first time i've put them outside, i normally grow them on the windowsill but i decided to be bold, it's not too much of a loss if they don't survive, luckily :) xx

    Don't you just hate finding things buried in the garden! It is so annoying when you are trying to make a new area. I hope that you can work around it in the meantime. xx

    I enjoyed your blog, you did fol me I thought you were building a swimming pool. You could make a lovely pond out of your paddling pool as long as it doesnt have holes in it. I made a pond last summer and have recently got some fish to go in it.

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration  Yup.  You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table   and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Adding to the flock- Ex battery hens

Hello! How the time has flown! This Saturday saw us adding two new girls to the flock. Meet Felicity and Penelope. The poor little buggers were so frightened by this strange new world, with fresh air, room to move and dirt to scratch in, but they've soon got used to it and are coming out of their shells. Felicity is definitely the bolder of the two, and now she's figured everything out she likes to show poor little Penelope who's boss Felicity checking out the dust bath Barbara checking out the roost in the new indoor shelter (formerly a wendyhouse) Felicity stepping out into the sunshine. This afternoon saw me teaching the new girls how to peck at the broccoli i'd hung up for them. Fliss was unimpressed, she'd rather try and eat my engagement ring. The good news is that after a week they are all starting to settle in with each other, and now there is much less squabbling between them and the older girls,...

Garden stuff

Hi guys :) Thank your all your lovely comments about the Bearded Wonder, he is doing wonderfully and has even voluntarily made a new appointment at the doctors (will wonders ever cease?) With the lovely weather we have finally made it out into the garden, and got to work.  There is still so much to do to get it to where we want it but, progress is progress no matter how small :) The Bearded Wonder has dug out the path, and we are going to border it in an attempt at keeping the weeds and grass at bay, and put either gravel or pebbles in the gaps. I have cobbled together a frame, and am going to put down cardboard, newspaper and mulch to block down the weeds, and with any luck by next year it should be diggable, and shall be used for herbs and above ground growing plants such as salads and brassicas etc  We also got a lovely new bed from a friend, so our old Divan bed has had it's fabric sides ripped out and shall be pressed into service as raised bed...
