Robin Family part 3

I looked in the watering can this morning ....and .......yes !! the little bundles of ..chicks have arrived , I didnt want to move anything in the can but I was pretty sure I could see 5 chicks , you can see 4 together in the photo with one off to the left hand side , Mum and Dad have been so busy all day flying back and forth feeding them , its a joy to watch .

Wet Wet Wet in the Garden

My Drookit Garden


Its so wet just now , cant get out to play in the garden at all so im just adding some photo's today

My first Tomatoes , yipeeee ( Tomato Tigerella )

The Lavender is looking great

Begonia in hanging bags

Charlie looks after the garden for me during the night

The hanging bags on the huts

I have made a Strawberry tower at Greenhouse door with black pots

This is the Lily I got from my neighbour

Sunburn

It was cool and overcast here yesterday so I put my 6 foot Yucca plant out at the back door for some air , I went out for a while and the sun came out in all its glory , my poor Yucca plant has serious sunburn , I've spent the morning repeatedly telling it im so very sorry , it looks awful I think im going to have to chop it right back and just hope it forgives me enough to grow again .

Well it looks as if we may hear the flitter flutter of tiny wings , there are at least 3 eggs in the nest , I wake up during the night at every sound I hear outside , im scared a cat gets to them , I dont care how cold Eddie feels , the bedroom window is staying open till these little Robins are safely away !!

My elderly neighbour is moving house so yesterday I raided her garden for some plants that I really like , most of them I had planted anyway as ive been looking after her garden for the past couple of years now , I will be so very sad to see her go I just hope the new neighbours like the garden I would hate to see it get into a mess , I also moved my Strawberry tower over nearer the Greenhouse as last year the birds had more Strawberries than me ! My tomato plants are growing quickly now with lots of little tomatoes appearing , its nice and warm here today but its overcast , come on sun come out to play !!

Bellis , Sweet William and Cineraria

Started off seeds for the Spring this morning , Bellis pompom , Bellis Blushing Bride , Sweet William , Viloa and Cineraria ( these look really nice , dont know how tough they are though )
Got nearly everything outside now and its all growing well , I put out just one Datura just now to see how it gets on , will keep the rest in the Greenhouse for another week to be safe .
