a couple of weeks back we did some potting. however we didn’t really know what the seeds were, as we had lost the labels. so we potted away anyway, and called it potting roulette!

below are some snap shots of where we are so far with the results, there are many more plants which have buds but haven’t flowered yet, so our potting roulette  continues!

out in the garden this week i was reminded how it’s not just the flowers that are pretty and beautiful, but also the leaves. all so very different from one another, be it in colour, shape or size, all the lines and patterns that they have on their surface, and the shape and textures that they create as they layer upon one another. so i decided there and then that this weeks how does your garden grow will be all leafy. so i started snapping away at the various leaves in our back yard, when i stumbled across a little monkey hiding amongst those leaves too.

so last week the boys in da HPMcQ house did some potting and stuff out in our back yard. plants were planted into beds and into hanging baskets. seeds were sown into grow bags and into seeding pots. we have no idea what the little chap below is going to be, but he is coming along just swell. the no idea being because the labels on the pots don’t really match back to what we thought had been planted. so here commences our potting roulette!

ronnie and Mr HPMcQ have been busy planting, seeding, weeding and generally having a little potter in the garden today. not much of a garden really but more of a back yard. we live in london you see, so a sizeable garden is pretty hard to come by. we make do with what we have, and  if the truth be told, we probably could do much much better.

here’s a little splash of the colour, popping up around casa HPMcQ right now.
