Today’s SoS photos are not what I would like them to be. Firstly, I was going to show you the results of my gardening efforts. Secondly, all shots were to be in focus. What demon thwarted my good intentions, who was my nemesis? Mizzle, that’s what. The grand scheme was to spend the morning pottingContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Mizzle”

Six on Saturday – Cool
Deluge, freeze, deluge, freeze, deluge, freeze: what an interesting winter we are having. For the last couple of weeks it has been a mainly monochrome affair, dank and dreary, but the recent frosts have been accompanied by blue skies. Unfortunately, the sun barely touches down in our garden at the moment, just a tantalising glanceContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Cool”
Six on Saturday – To Infinity and Beyond
Two SoSing weeks on the trot, I must be on track for a gold star on the The Prop’s chart of Shame and Glory. The cold and crisp has been replaced by the damp and dreary and, although I have had countless flights of imagination, I haven’t done any actual gardening. Still, these things can’tContinue reading “Six on Saturday – To Infinity and Beyond”
Six on Saturday – You can’t keep a good fern down
February has arrived; which is officially the last month of winter. That is if like me you prefer to adhere to the meteorological interpretation of events, at this end of the year anyway. And it’s a shortie so should fly by. Then, baby, the only way is up! My Six on Saturday this week hasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – You can’t keep a good fern down”
Six on Saturday
Six on Saturday, here we go again. Admittedly it has been a few weeks since I dabbled, but I’m sure I will pick it up again; the subtle nuances, the intricacies. Just like riding a bicycle. Unfortunately, I can only ride a bike in a straight line, as long as there are no cars, orContinue reading “Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – In Haste
Sorry folks, I am in a terrible rush today, so this is going to be heavy on the photos, light on the words. Almost indetectable on the words. Let us go, but don’t forget to pop over to The Prop’s site to find out what it’s all about Alfie. First a cyclamen, a bit ragedContinue reading “Six on Saturday – In Haste”
Soggy Six on Saturday
Another wet Saturday. Another soggy Six on Saturday, SSoS. If you would like to see how wet or dry my compadres are then pop over to the captain of our ship The Propagator and find out for yourself. So let us splodge on. Shall we talk about the rain? In order to accurately convey my feelings onContinue reading “Soggy Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Chocolates
Even though it was singularly uninviting, it being damp and windy and the weekend, I had to go out into the garden this morning. Not just because of the pressing urgency of The Propagator‘s Six on Saturday, but because if I didn’t do certain jobs a visit from the local RSPCP officer was inevitable. So IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Chocolates”
Osteospermum ‘Double Berry White’
A day of dodging showers at The Farm. No matter, most of the time I was in easy reach of a waterproof or a shelter. There were plenty of indoor jobs to be done. In the greenhouse the tomato vines, which had been allowed to express themselves freely over the last few weeks, were trimmedContinue reading “Osteospermum ‘Double Berry White’”
