Growing herbs
I grew some herbs this year, from seeds. Year on year I try and they always get to a spindley looking stage and die. Not this year!!! I’ve had them on the spare room windowsill and they love it there. I’ve watered them a bit and left them to it, and they’ve grown like weeds! Well they can carry on as they please, they’ll look nice in the new flats kitchen.
“The line is drawn Here…No Further!”
As any Star Trek fan knows, this is what Picard stated with regards to the Borg assmilating Earth.
Well folks, I have now drawn this line with the squirrels at the back of my flat. I have sacrificed too many plants over the last 2 years now and it is pissing me off considerably. This is what I did to my plants. Netting them seems to be the only way to deal with the squirrels and hopefully it will work. I know the solution isn’t pretty at the moment, but hopefully I’ll find a better way of keeping the netting on at some point. Every ‘more friendly’ method I have tried hasn’t worked and after digging up my lovely Fuchsia too many times (which I got last year at a RHS flower show Cardiff with Graham’s mum) this is it. The squirrels are not digging up the roots of my plants any more.
My Fuschia has flowered quite well this year and after the squirrels destroyed my daffodils (which I’d had the previous year too) I got determined that the Fuchsia would not go the same way. I hate squirrels.
Well, I’ve drawn the line, and if they wanna step up and challenge me, then they may end up with more of a challenge then they want.
