Cultivating the art of patience while gardening in a small space
A lens kit for my mobile phone camera – a fish-eye lens and a macro/wide angle lens. Just clip it on and snap away!
But it’s not a simple as that. First you need to get the clip (minus the lenses) in the right place, and add the lens of your choice (they are quite small) – then you can take your photos.

Slugs or snails?
Hours of fun to be had with this kit, once I get the lens in the right place on my phone.
Rain stops play – again – though it didn’t stop the window cleaner yesterday! I managed to sow some leek and tomato seeds in modules in the Potting Shed on Wednesday; because I think it is still a little early, weatherwise, for us, I’ve only used packets that were already opened – leeks and tomatoes (both will feature in their own posts if and when they germinate).
With warmer weather on Monday, I popped out to see what damage has been done by the recent freezing temperatures. Along with the pale purple crocus that have been flowering for two weeks or more, these pale yellow ones have appeared. I planted them in colour blocks right to left along the front border – pale purple, yellow, deep purple, white – and they come out in succession, never at the same time. You’d think I planned it that way! I didn’t.
…ordered more vegetable seeds, that is!
I blame my friend D. It’s her birthday at the end of March and we were chatting (texting) as you do, and I mentioned I had an excess of Boltardy beetroot seeds. So she said I could give her a packet for her birthday – cheap present, I thought.
Then I thought, I’ll just have a quick look at the seed catalogue… I need some herbs and stuff! To distract you – for a moment – from what I ordered, here is D’s birthday card, made by my own fair hands and featuring:
