Saturday 14th July. Now that date rings a bell. Something or other is going on. Don’t tell me, it is on the tip of my tongue. Oh yes, Six on Saturday. That wonderful meme hosted by the indomitable Mr Prop. But there is a niggle that I might have forgotten another important event. Silly me,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Birthday Girl”

Six on Saturday – Ruthless
Beware, I am in a ruthless mood today. Inhabitants of the garden that have not been performing to my exacting standards have been extradited to the green bin. Oleander that has never flowered, promised once but was only joking – Out! Dead stick thing that has been in extensive care for so long the labelContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ruthless”
Six on Saturday – Rush 2
The chilli is made, the guest room is ready, the shopping done, the fridge well stocked and the washing is on the line. That leaves me a small window of opportunity to contribute to this week’s Six on Saturday before my nephew and his girlfriend arrive to stay for a couple of days. Take aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Rush 2”
Six on Saturday – Raindrops keep falling on my flowers
Someone must have speeded the film up. It can’t possibly be Saturday again. There is so much to cram into every week, it doesn’t seem fair that the time seems to pass more quickly at this time of year. As we are pondering this anomaly, puzzled looks on our faces, gaining yet more wrinkles,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Raindrops keep falling on my flowers”
Six on Saturday – Angels and Demons
Hip hip hooray, it’s another Saturday! I’ve had a haircut and a bowl of chips with mayonnaise and now I am ready for anything. Even a Six on Saturday. No idea what I am talking about? Where have you been? Lost in the Bornean jungle, or Ikea’s soft furnishing department? Don’t worry, Sir Propalot willContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Angels and Demons”
Six on Saturday – Another One
Another Six on Saturday. Another introduction to main man, The Prop. Another invitation to join us. Another attempt to take photographs that conceal the slug ravaged, garden mayhem that is my reality. Here we go …. Firstly we have Rhodohypoxis baurii. With minimum (read no) effort, these little charmers come up every spring and flower theirContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Another One”
Six on Saturday – Newbies and Surprises
Our Six on Saturday this week comprises of newbies and surprises. Hopefully all will become clear, although this is not a certainty. Of course I must first of all introduce our Meme Master, The Propagator, who guides his ever-expanding troupe of SoSer towards oblivion. Or something like that, you had better take a look atContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Newbies and Surprises”
Six on Saturday – Celebration
Welcome to another Six on Saturday, the meme of choice for the horticultural in-crowd. Too cool for school, on-trend, leaders not followers. You get my gist. Contributors are herded by none other than the great cultural icon himself, The Propagator. Before I go any further I have an apology to make, last week, in myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Celebration”
Six on Saturday – Still Hurrying
Crazy times are unabating, so once again I must be brief. Easier said than done. As you may have guessed I tend to go on a bit. Briefish is perhaps more accurate. I don’t want to aim too high. Here we go. Six on Saturday, horrah for the Grand Old Duke of Prop, he knowsContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Still Hurrying”
Six on Saturday – Rush
The Prop he will explain. In a big rush, in fact I didn’t even take the photos. My little brother did. But they are from my garden. And he is good, so only a splattering of words are needed. Even better. Here goes. Alien euphorbia Holding up the shed. Ouch! Remember this? Alpine snake FiveContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Rush”
