Bristol plant happenings

Cheers to our gardening/radio friend Kit, G5KIT for sending us a picture (above) of a reecnt find. “These poor cacti and a lovely little succulent were just crying out to be rescued from a garden wall in Bristol. All dried out and the soil had gone crumbly. A little TLC and now they’re looking much happier!” Great to hear that Kit and they look great!

And he also let us know that he has some seedlings starting to appear: “They’re Chilli plants, a variety called Demon Red (nice ‘n’ spicy!) and apparently they’re attractive as well as tasty. The picture from the seed company (below) looks pretty good!”.

Thanks for that Kit and ta for letting us know. Any others finding stuff on walls and have seedlings appearing? If so do let us know at one deck pete (at) gee male dot com.

A delayed report from Bristol

We also had a recent report from Kit, G5KIT in Bristol which we’ve just got around to posting up now. He’s cleared out the cleavers from his herb corner above (which is well up our street!) and as he told us “surprisingly, the parsley is thriving underneath. The anti-cat sticks seem to still be doing their thing, too.” “I’ll probably pop some basil, mint and thyme in there around the parsley, just so there’s something vigorous to fight the weeds off.”

That’s a great idea and we do know mint can be a bit vigorous at times, but we’ve got a couple of mint plants in the garden that are still in their original pots (buried into the soil) that helps to keep them from spreading too much.

Cheers Kit, do keep letting us know how things are doing!

Dave visited Bristol too

We also had a report from Kit, G5KIT from Bristol who was telling us that “Storm Dave is definitely making his presence felt, and it’s just been too windy to do anything other than see how much ground the cleavers have claimed in their battle for the parsley patch (below). Instead, we’ve been entertained by watching the magpies and crows battling for tactical supremacy in the trees across the road (above)”. Funny enough you say that Kit, as yesterday morning there was some magpies and crow business going on in the trees at the back of us. Are the birds fighting back in the aftermath of Dave?

Cheers to Kit for sending us a Moon mix inspired by the Artemis rocket trip presently orbiting that moon of ours. #TheMoonConnectsUsAll

Astronomy Domine – Pink Floyd
Space Truckin’ – Deep Purple
2000 Light Years from Home – The Rolling Stones
There’s a Moon in the Sky – The B52’s
Supersonic Rocket Ship – The Kinks

And for the Bank Holiday Gardening Monday here’s a couple of moon related tunes.
