The Sweet Peas have become quite tall and needed tying up. Morten found this fascinating. He jumped in and was trapped. I only just managed to squeeze him between the canes and free him. Hopefully he might have learned his lesson now!
Our sunflowers and courgette plants have been attacked by slugs! I heard on the radio that sprinkling oats around the plants helps to stop them. Supposedly the slugs love the oats but it kills them. Then if birds eat the slugs, the oats won't harm them. I don't like to use pesticides so I hope this works. I will keep you informed! I also noticed that Soren has added some plastic giraffes to my hanging basket and I have decided they can stay :)
Two of the staff at Maisy and Soren's school will be retiring this summer, so I have been preparing books which will contain drawings and memories from the children they teach. I hope they will like them!
As well as Morten's 3rd birthday, we are going out for Soren's 9th birthday on Sunday. We will be taking a cake to the restaurant and tomorrow I shall be attempting to make these Ugly Dolls out of icing... Wish me luck!
Ooh thanks for the slug tip, I have just lost a butternut squash plant and they are being vicious to my courgettes so anything that helps in the fight against the slimy buggers is great! Also love the look of those books, and can't wait to see how the icing turns out - I bet it'll be brilliant. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope it works! Unfortunately it seems that dogs like porridge oats too. :( x
DeleteThe books sound like a lovely idea, I'm sure they will be really pleased. I love those little hearts, they remind me of Charlie and Lola! hope you enjoy the birthday celebrations. x
ReplyDeleteThe little hearts reminded me of Charlie and Lola too :-) Those books sound like such a lovely idea. I am sure the teachers will love them! Good luck with the Ugly dolls - hope we get to see a pic of the finished product! x
DeleteI have to admit to cutting and drawing all hearts in a Charlie and Lola way! They just look better that way! :) x
