Captain's Blog (2) Beginning to get "Ship-shape"

Happy St Patts what a great idea love it

Wonderful blog David, what a great theme to work on! 'Specially loved last photo and comment lol!:o))

You've got some great ideas, David. You're going to have a great time getting it 'ship shape'. Look forward to more progress 'logs'. If you're going to have a crows-nest I have a few spare crows that I could send you to complete the picture :)

you do have some brilliant ideas David, i love the ship!! looking forward to seeing it all planted up

i have just been looking at Suttons seeds website David and they do a pack for £4.99 called 'Treasure island', it contains a treasure map, eye patch, stickers and 3 packets of seeds plus propagater etc., just a thought!!!!!

its all coming along well David.......i love your treasure chest..... its all going to be great in the summer.........

Thats great David

Brilliant ideas David...looking forward to seeing it all coming alive !!

Ahoy me hearties, what fun you are having! You are an inspiration David! Look forward to seeing the progress. :-)

well shiver me timbers......
you wont be walking the plank with all this effort.

good one.

Just noticed this is your 50th blog so you need 50 pieces of gold in that trunk, better start looking through your 'bling' or xmas chocolate coins . . . .

I love your ideas, David, as well as these amazing blogs you write! I especially like your P.S. Capt. Kiddin'! It should look really great when planted up.

You are certainly transforming it well, I`m really looking forward to watching it grow through the summer, I think your ship is going to look smashing ,lovely photo`s especially like the happy smiles in the last one, not too sure about poor ole pegleg, hope he can steer the P.S Captain Kiddin in the right direction ......

Brilliant theme David....

Thanks, all.

The last pic is a bit of a "cheat" - taken last year at a theme park, lol!

I knew I could count on you, Gee, for crows, lol!

Thanks, Sk, I've seen the treasure island kids' sets here in garden centres.

Could arrange for some easter chocolate doubloons, megan. :-)

Might steer the Capt. Kiddin to the nearest port (or rum, for that matter), Lincslass. :-)

Right now, my ship-to-shore wireless (home internet) has crashed on the rocks, so will be back when I can.

Oh no! You won't get to read my comment, David! You really do have a great imagination, and J and E can join in - ideas flowing! Wonderful. :-))

Many Thanks, Spritz. Contact restored after 48hrs, and very glad about it, too.

you are amazing david and work so hard at making your garden fun for the kids, i bet they love it, planing and doing, cant wait to see it all done and in summer bloom ;o))

What a great blog David love the ship, but you seem to have lost your hook lol

He's "slung" his hook! LOL!

LOL Balcony

LOL! No, I didn't "sling it" - I transplanted it!! Not me 'and, ye understand? Me Uncinia rubra - "Hook sedge", as 'tis also known. :-D)

What a great way to keep your chidlings enthused in gardening and what a great father you are to be able to give them your experience in a positive and entertaining way.....

Good on you David:0))
