Who needs slug pellets

With all the wet weather I wondered why I had very few slugs on my plot. Now I know why.

Family Tree

My sister has been exploring our family tree on our Dad's side. She has got back to 1806 and we were then all living in Chiddingstone in Kent.

She and I went to Chiddingstone last week. It is a really beautiful village and we found the grave of what would have been our great great uncle who died aged 7 which is in the village church, that is 136 years since his death.

My name is James Nye and up until last week I did not know that there was a place in America called " Nye County " which was named after someone called James Nye. Fame at last!!!!

Sorry for lack of posts

First of all good luck to all that have been affected by the floods. We really hope that you are able to get back to some sort of normality very soon.

Very sorry for the lack of posts but very difficult when you cannot use the computer. The picture shows the bit that I spent so long digging in the early spring. I shall write more later.

It is good to be back.

City Garden

I was working at a city livery company a few nights ago which had a wonderful garden surrounded by concrete and glass office blocks.

The big square planter was a Victorian water cistern which was salvaged from a building in Threadneedle Street.

It was an oasis, just feet away from the rush and noise of the city.

And then there were eight

Meant to post this a few days ago.

So Far So Good

I have not seen the cubs for a few days, I think that they may have moved on.

The Great Tits seem to be doing well. Each time that I have been to the plot this week the parents have been coming and going all the time. The chicks make a real noise when being fed.

It has been quite windy on the plot this week. Have had some rain but could do with loads more but the Peony seems to be fine.

I thought that we were a bit behind other plot holders in what we had growing at the moment but when we had a count we have fourteen different things on the go and lots more to go in shortly.
