I loved Youngdaisydees blog yesterday. We have been treated to some great ideas over the years. So as I was hiding from the wind this morning I decided to put my twist on the ideas..

I have been planning to do a few of these for ages YDD pics were just what i needed to get me going.

The sun came out later in the day and i took the opportunity to move a pile of treasure my neighbor gave me to decorate around our hammock.

I even took some time out to actually lie down on the hammock…lol

Back in the tunnel I potted on some more tomatoes should finish them tomorrow.

these alicante i potted up today into 4 inch pots

but these shirley were potted up 2 weeks ago….can’t believe how much they have grown…

thanks for reading..:-)

it did make me giggle YDD...lol

it's my favorite too Lincs...and yes the hammock is comfy...we had to rehang it a couple of times to get the angle right and in the summer when the shorts are on i throw a blanket on the net as its a bit too scratchy...

Snap I have a stacking pot that I did last year, did it by accident had not got enough room on the window ledge, so just stacked three pots on top of one another lol
I love the wellie, we grow a lot of Echeveria, just love the colour, and does well in the south.....our Aeoniums are just starting to take off again, especially the black one.

I love the stacked broken pots - much better than jumping on them and using the crocks for drainage! Its good to know yo sometimes have time for a go in the hammock - great!
