Tuesday’s shorts

Things are moving on in the garden, the foxtail lily is starting to burst out the terrarium now (above pic) and it’ll be lifting the blimming thing off by the weekend!

A big thanks to Thompson & Morgan for including Weeds on their new public twitter list “Great grow your own blogs” here. It also includes The Propagator, Life on Pig Row, The Quest for Veg and more. A list to subscribe to!

Here’s a couple of great tunes heard this week, the first on this week’s Tom Ravenscroft show and the second a great tune by Lila Iké that samples Dennis Brown & Aswad’s Promised Land heard on (a new show to us called) Reggae Got Soul on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. Roll on the sunshine that’s hopefully coming this weekend!

Shaw Taylor was never a sailor

Found in front of Weeds HQ on St. Patrick’s day morning (below) this strange home-made hat stand/large cat scratcher is now in place in the garden for use later this season. What do you think we should have trained up it? A clematis, some sweet peas or runner beans perhaps? Let’s see how the mood takes us. To its left is the window frame we found years ago and to its right a mirror originally left out for the bin men. Isn’t it great what you find in the street?
