Bottle gardens !!


I love the idea of using plastic bottles as mini gardens...



Ive used bottles before  to grow tomato's in and was very successful!


 But these take it a step further   what a great way to recycle!!!



   I love this idea!!


Me and my daughter in law are now collecting bottles like crazy....


Really good for small spaces!




              as you can grow up over!!!

Jo.......


I remember it was a lovely sunny day!!! We stopped at Kinross  for the night .!Me and Babs were watching you  paint....you are a talented artist and i still have the very same picture you were painting.  The sun  was  shining ,why on earth were we wearing jumpers??You'd brought your water colours along .Babs snapped these two  photos and i have always treasured these, our fated trip to Findhorn a holiday to make things right. It didn't and i faced a time of sadness and  and pain.But life goes on and  i survived  a bit battered and bruised ....



Me and my dear sis  , my friend ....always love you x

Bobbys seeds


I love this time of year  watching the seedlings  peeking up through the soil....a teeny tiny tomato plant peeks through




Ive planted so much Kale!!!.....Jason do you want some????



Celery and lettuce all look the same!!!!


Things  sprouting every where!!!!

 But the most amazing  plants are Bobby's seeds!!! These are twenty year old African Marigolds!!Found in my best friends house , they belonged to his lovely Dad who recently past over, lots and lots of seeds that every one said wouldn't grow!!! They seemed to grow within days of popping them into a pot!!!i was so pleased when i saw them i shed a few tears!!!I'm hoping to grow all of Bobby's seed and plant them in his garden where they belong x

A week in pictures..
