I.O.U.

some photographs..., I've taken quite a few but leave them all for the technical whiz in the family to sort them out for me so till then here's just a couple. This is how my last surviving courgette was 'caged', to stop the hedgehog (if indeed he visits us still) getting the slug pellets that are strewn around it to deter, or let's be honest, kill the slugs. I just have to hope they don't slope off and die away from it in full view of the hedgehog. What a dilemma! I have to say though that the courgette is now twice this size and threatening to break out of it's temporary home and will soon be big enough to take care of itself.

The seeds of this giant sunflower are oh, so tightly packed in such a perfect combination - it's like commuters in the rush hour on the underground, butted up to total strangers.
