Out of Sight, Out of Mind

[mark smyth]

Earlier this week there were comments about Paul's pots and buckets. I thought I would get the ball rollong with a new thread for those who wish to show their not so neat areas. We all have them because we are all plantaholics - buy then think where to plant.

I hope I'm not the only one

When my back is 100% I must clear all the junk from the green house

[Maggi Young]

I was going to say that it doesn't look too bad, then I saw this poor wee daff, struggling to survive with its prickly pot companion..... .....


I meant to take some of our junk today but got rained off at one point, then sidetracked by dog-trimming and walking!... Perhaps tomorrow, after work at the BEEB 
Molly our lodger arrived today for a couple of weeks,..... as you'll see by her "before" photo, she was in a pretty furry mess, even without weeds!

[mark smyth]

well I can tell you there are 3 in that pot. Two accidentally lost their heads while I was weeding the pot. Roll on 2009!

Mark,

Do you plant anything?
Yes, I have lots of pots also but they are of plants I have propogated and are waiting to move on to someone else or somewhere else but not my garden.

Maggi,

Here in Ireland a "hairy molly" is a childish name for caterpillar - those hairy ones.

I'll tell the wee dog that, she won't be impressed,: Westies are very proud!

My friends and I called those hairy caterpillars "pussy pillars" but I don't know ifthat was just our name for them or if other Scots children use it.

This is how the hairy molly looked an hour or so later:

Granny Grey Bird or is it Beard

[mark smyth]

pixelated? LOL

[Maggi Young]

Yes, she is rather pixelated, now I see it on screen! Poor little soul

And if we are talking about the same caterpillars, we call them "furry bears"....(orangy-brown and prickly catepillar?)

[Maggi Young]

That's 'em!    Does make me wonder how often you see bald bears, though.... I know those Americans are fond  or their Bald Eagles......... .

Here are some of our messy spots, better not seen by visitors. Sadly, most of these areas are only too easily seen by anyone visiting.... not hidden away at all.....

[Maggi Young]

Kristl, note orange snow shovel in pic two: just waiting to dig you out!

I'm glad to see other people have stuff in pots too long.  The trouble is I buy stuff I really want without thinking about preparing places for them.

As you do - or rather I do or rather, we ALL do.
