Moving forward slowly



It did not take her long to find this spot. I am having trouble working out which plants to put in which thin slivers of sun. I am more buildinged in than I had thought I would be.

Before you decided anything, your cat staked his claim. Lots of sun going up the walls, how about going vertical. You certainly have done that before. And you are in winter; wonder how the sun will hit in summer.

In summer, if my country upbringing does not fail me, I think the sun will travel across the front of my cottage, meaning that I will have a surfeit of heat and will have to consider carefully. I will track it ...

I am going to train a sucking ficus up that wall - which is what the owners are doing up another wall.

Will do a design over the weekend.

How's the fires?

I have a feeling today will be very telling, kind of a make it or break it.

Sucking ficus -- I'm going to have to look that up. My house is defintely on the homely side, so I have creepiing fig and boston ivy all over the outside.

I had to laugh about your tracking the fire by its Google ranking!!

I think that your climbing fig and my sucking ficus are the same thing.

I have a photo under label ficus in the side bar.

I know you will figure it out ... even if you do have to change your plants to suit.

Apologize to your cat for the sex mix-up. It was all the smoke.

(Yes, yes, climbing fig and sucking ficus. One thing I can tell you, which you probably already know, it will try to stick hard to woodwork (window frames, etc.)

It's like a secret cubby-house!

Confession: I am now officially dying to see what you've done with the inside.

*grin* ...

"done with the inside" ... c'mon ... you expect me - a down-to-earth tru-blu Aussie - to have "done" something, like, along the lines of interior-decor!!

Bah! *splutter* ... *splutter* ...

My i-d involves taking a chair and plonking down. Pushing shelves along a wall and pouring books anywhere they fit.

Okay ... okay ... I will have something for you in my morning ... *mutter mutter mutter* ... "do" something ... tsk tsk tsk ...

As John Wayne said to Susan Hayward, "yer beautiful in yer wrath." (Ghengis Kahn. Best worst move evah.)

You who are sketching a design for your garden, don't even try to tell me you just plunk down a chair.
