Wicked Snuggly


So it is now Monday evening, as I promised it is now continued.  Hoorah!  I suppose.

I did get out in that garden between laundry cycles and DVD’s and kitten snuggling.  While out there I even planted little itty bitty seeds.  I planted some Rosemary, Oregano and some heavenly little Johnny Jump Ups. (viola’s, heartsease etc) 

I also took some cuttings of my favourite daisy from my parents house.  A cutting from a cutting I took from a plant I purchased at my very first job at a nursery.  My very first job anywhere in fact.  I took three so hopefully all or at least one of them grows. 

I even planted to potted colour I got last week in the garden near the front door.  Hopefully they’ll make it look more inviting out there.  It’ll look really good when the stump from the ornamental ficus is removed completely.

Beautiful faced Pansies/Violas.  So lovely.

Then I got my mean gardener on, and got out the environmentally better than the bad weedkiller, weedkiller and my spray gun out.  I went all Hitler on the weeds down the side alley and the weeds in the trough like garden just off the deck.  Makes me sick just thinking about them, and that I resorted to POISON.  It’s a huge job, I wouldn’t have used it had I a smaller garden.

Whilst slaughtering the weedies down the side I caught a glimpse over the neighbours fence and what do you think I saw?  I saw the loveliest of all the lovely things I had seen today in there yard.  So lovely, I ran back to the bench and got my camera back out and put the longer lense on.

You want to see?

Yes you do!  I’ll show you!

What a delightfully attractive Magnolia.

I wish it was growing in my yard instead.

And because I thought this was worth posting also. 

We’ll leave it with Lavender now though I suppose.  Because Top Gear UK is on.

Evening.  Peace be the journey =)
