I have two strawberry plant bags from last year that I found behind the greenhouse, they have strawberries growing away on them.

I took seven cuttings last year from a friends clematis, stuck them in a pot and popped them behind my outside planters, completely forgot about them until last week when I spotted tendrils climbing into the planters, all seven had taken, they have now been potted up into their own pots and put back in the same spot, I swear they have grown another three inches in a week.<br />I have surprised myself admiring the moth, normally I would have run a mile but it was so beautiful, and as it was water logged it wasn't flying around, it was released this morning. Meg is cute but does not understand NO, she's just eaten my handbag!

Eeek, that's one huge moth, but very pretty. Loved seeing the cute photos of your cats and of Meg of course. How can you tell that cute little face no.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
