[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 147640, member: 1991"] G'day, everyone. Linda, I hope the Sunday School goes well today. Sounds like you've been really busy. We had a fairly quiet day today, husband's mini train club had a charity day today, where all proceeds go to a nominated charity. I didn't go, I stayed with difficult child 3 at home instead. Using my new garden hand-tools on their extensible handle, I got my vegetable bed weeded and dug over, harvested all the parsley seed, pulled up one lonely and very woody carrot that had been overlooked, left the parsley seedlings growing around the edge then went looking through my seed packets. Blast - no peas or beans. So I'm going to have to buy more on my next shopping trip which should be soon. Meanwhile I've left the bird net off the vegetable bed so the chooks can get in and scratch it around. Only today, they didn't. I'm beginning to think the 10" high edges to the vegetable bed are just too high for our ancient hens. Still gardening, I dropped in on my neighbour who runs a weekly "plant shop" from his garage and backyard to see what he had. I bought some water plants for my pond but each time I went back to collect the next one (could only carry one at a time and I was going back and forth for my exercise) I ended up buying more. I eventually came home with a big pot of oregano (lovely and lush) and a couple of tillandsia plants he gave me from a clump in his garden. This tillandsia is a bromeliad with a fluorescent purple centre and flowers, the whole plant about as big as my hand. I've put it in a pot, although it really doesn't need soil, and draped another tillandsia, Spanish Moss, over it. I'm glad I wrapped the Spanish Moss on fairly tightly, because the wind has been strong tonight, with more rain. I'm building a collection of various bromeliads for a garden feature based on an old window. So after all that - I'm skipping my walk tonight. I figure I've already done it! Enjoy your Sunday.
