Hmm, I never expected that

Some time ago I mentioned that I had tomato plants growing out of the top of my strawberry planter. I had assumed that would be tiny bush tomatoes as that is what I had planted around the garden this year.  I took the seeds from some tiny tomatoes that we bought in a supermarket.  I popped the planter into the conservatory so I would remember to feed and water them... Well these blimmin tomatoes are related to a trifid and not the little compact things I had expected.. It very quickly became too late to transplant them as they grow as soon as my back is turned.  I doubt very much whether they will be strong enough to give me many tomatoes but I am feeding and watering them every day with a top up water every evening. I will need Tony to help me move the planter onto the floor to give them some more room to grow

And just look at how much growth the Lavender has put on. It's just starting to show the first hint of colour but smells fabulous each time I brush past it.  When I peg laundry on the line I allow it to waft back forth brushing over the lavender. It smells gorgeous when I iron it.  The flowery thing hanging from the shed is made from bleach bottles. It is spinning in the wind and looks really quite eye catching. I have a tin filled with flowers that I die cut from bleach and shampoo bottles.  I nearly threw them out the other day but couldn't bring myself to do it. I am glad I didn't as I have a little project simmering in my brain.
