Do you know what I did on Friday? I went to the 2€ shop and bought flower seed kits. Yeah! For the first time ever I planted flowers. The kits were 2 for €3 and they came with 3 pots, compost and a wee pack of seeds. Really good value I thought. The recommended UK price was £2.99 each and I think it would be good value at that. I know it is a wee bit late to be planting flowers, but then again I remember us planting spuds in late April early May back home in Donegal. The flowers I planted were Sweet Pea, Digitalis, Pansy and Echinacea Purpurea. Know lets see if they grow! I also made and put up a shelf on the back garden wall, so I could put the pots in the sun and also to keep Rocky 2 away from them as he tends to destroy everything. Yeah, with Rocky 2, there is hardly a blade of grass on the lawn which is amazing considering Ireland is supposed to be the greenest country in the world (green as in grass). By the way, Rocky 2 is my boxer dog and as you can see from the name; my first boxer dog was Rocky 1. Rocky 1 died a few years ago, but I still miss the big lump.
I was really happy with the shelf as I used some old warped skirting board and archatrive. I didn’t use measurements at all and just threw it up by eye. I’m a trained and fully qualified cabinetmaker (although I haven’t done cabinet making for years) and I got more pleasure from making a really rough shelf that making a perfect peace of furniture.
A sur I will post a few photos so you can see.
