I’ve noticed recently that when I leave a comment on some posts, they don’t show up. At first I thought it was just a delay because the internet was/is extra busy since lockdown. But now I think it could be certain settings on some WordPress blogs.

So if I have ‘liked‘ your blog post, I might have left a comment too – but have you seen it?

Now it could be that you don’t want to read comments from me – and that’s fine – you don’t have to.

Here are my six for today.  Take a look at The Propagator’s Blog for inspiration.

I’m staying  mostly indoors for this week’s Six on Saturday, although the weather is still mild.  After a dry spell, we had some rain mid-week, so next week I expect my bulbs to have had a growth spurt.

I wasn’t sure I’d have anything new for this week’s Six on Saturday hosted by The Propagator, but a quick tour of the garden on a surprisingly warm and sunny day gave me these images to share.

While The Propagator and other gardening companions still have photographs of their gardens to share for Six on Saturday, I have nothing this week.  A combination of wet weather and heavy colds has kept us mostly indoors, apart from a mad dash to pull up one of my remaining leeks yesterday afternoon.

Some more images from my recent tidy-up.  A sudden cold snap means more have fallen since.

A day late as I had nothing to share until this morning.  Head over to The Propagator’s blog, to see what everyone else has been up to.

As the sun is out, I decided to tackle the front border, with the help of a robin who perched nearby keeping his beady eye open for any grubs.  Not close enough for a photograph though! Continue reading “Six on Saturday: 17 November 2018 (On Sunday)” →

The first image for this week’s Six on Saturday is shared to shame me into spending some time in my shed and tidying it up.  This is part of a cupboard built by my hubbie to my design.  It’s based on one of those old kitchen cupboards from the 1950s – a cupboard underneath, another at the top, and a flap that folds down, which I used as my potting bench – this is that bit.

A bright and sunny day here in North East Wales, but cold.  I was surprised to see on the news that some places have had snow!

This week, as well as looking at my own garden for Six on Saturday, I’ve taken a sneaky look at those of my neighbours too.

This is the fuchsia in my front garden – still producing flowers and with more to come.  I’ve taken cuttings from it this year as I want to eventually plant it as an informal hedge. Continue reading “Six on Saturday: 27 October 2018” →
