Re: Today in pictures

Yesterday I finally planted out my new flower beds. I'm trying this 'square foot gardening' scheme after reading the book for months. The chippies kept me company, and they promptly jumped in to 'inspect' my work after I'd gone in for the day, despite the protective netting I'd put in place. Never mind, there's lots of goodies to go round
I also put up a couple of photos of some wild plants growing under the trees at the back of my place: the umbrella shaped leaves are May Apple or Mandrake, and the trumpet shaped thingie is a Jack in the Pulpit. Davemac might find them interesting.

Wey to go
I certainly take it as a compliment, Diane
Although I never learned to ride myself, I was in my time a happy passenger on the back of a few fine machines!

The Mandrake root is supposed to be shaped like a human...and it is said to scream as it is pulled out of the ground.

I love the critters. I would be able to sit and watch them for hours.
