The pot garden may have gone a little OTT!

As promised bloggees, here is the photo of some of yesterday's efforts - the nutty bits that Gloria Gardener decided needed adding to her pot garden. Now in some ways Clever Bird realises that locating the pot garden where Gloria has is a little nuts in itself, as the bit in the neighbour's garden is their compost and poles and things bit, so it's a bit of an eyesore, but the idea is to try to hide it! This is the view from Baggy's summerhouse after all, so it does make sense really.

There are four different climbers in the pots, so hopefully they will crawl up and over the trellis and along the fence and make a lovely sight and smell for both Baggy and the neighbours. Gloria just needs to keep them alive. Baggy realises that this pot garden might be a bit of an acquired taste, but Calum and Baggy love it. Baggy had to get the dragon as he reminds her of someone very close to her - a.k.a. her husband.

As for the lizards - well Baggy loved them and was just going to get one, but two of them were stuck to each other (as it were) so it seemed rude to separate them. That left just one in the shop. Well of course Hormonal Hannah couldn't leave it on its own as it would have been lonely, so it came too.

Then Creative Clara decided water was required, so she persuaded Calum to donate his tub for cooling off his metalwork.

 

Tomorrow Gloria needs to plant her sweetpeas in the little coloured pots and we have lift off. Once the solar lanterns are charged up Baggy will get Creative Clara to attempt to take a night-time photo of it all, but Baggy is quite chuffed with their efforts.

 



Today Calum wanted to go and look at water features at a garden centre in Coggeshall in Essex. Baggy agreed to go, as long as a) Furry Mama could bring Minty Mutt and b) they didn't buy anything, as frankly neither of them should be allowed out of the house with a credit card. (No not Mint bloggees, Calum - funnily enough Mint is not very good at remembering the pin number). Amazingly, both of these conditions were met, albeit Baggy now has her eyes on a pond and a summer house (that will double as a motorbike shed for the winter). Hopeless! But at least she didn't order them. Furry Mama and Calum then took Minty Mutt for a bit of a walk around the little town of Coggeshall, before heading home........
