And I must tell you your Bertie is almost identical to my Sophie. I'd say he's younger though. She will be 14 this July. I have 2 weenie dogs. The other is a short haired chocolate double dappled named Phoebe who is only 5. Aren't they wonderful?!<br />~DanetteDanette Bartelmayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12610193916999812047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-70570388401176552582014-04-02T12:53:00.109+01:002014-04-02T12:53:00.109+01:00What a pretty post (they all are though!).

The idea was to fill a vase every week with flowers and foliage you'd either grown yourself or foraged for. I managed it just ... I treated myself to one bunch of roses in the whole year.

I really admire people when they jump in and then learn how to so I'll love seeing what you get on with. This time of year the lady down the road starts her honesty stall so I get to cheat with the fresh local flowers. Like you I thought they were mainly grown here, what's going on? I do have a plan to make the patio looked better, but got to deal with pooing and destructive hens first who will just trash anything colourful and tempting.<br />xBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044399031300661767.post-35851870264902558292014-03-20T20:54:45.612+00:002014-03-20T20:54:45.612+00:00Good luck with your cut flower patch Heather, it w...Good luck with your cut flower patch Heather, it will be so satisfying to wander out into the garden and pick some flowers to take indoors.

Happy Springtime Heather! <br />That is a lovely pic of your beautiful Bertie - he looks very relaxed and happy!<br />Pepper sprinkled around can sometimes work to chase away the cats, and you can buy products at most plant nurseries that are harmless to them but will certainly dissuade them! All the best with that!
