Tidy Friday - Savagery: August 30 2019

Tidy Friday - so I took my car out on a few errands, picking up and dropping off various things. Got a bargain in Homebase, a slightly wilted Ficus reduced from £50 to £20. I've given it a good watering since I got home and it looks fine. Tomorrow, I'll sort out a new pot for it. Also got some winter pansies and a dahlia.

When I came back to the car, there was a wasp ensnared in the web on the side mirror and a spider attacking it. Finally, on the drive home, the spider hauled the now-dead wasp into the inner recesses of the car window frame. The whole thing accomplished in about thirteen minutes. I have a picture of the attack, with a reflection in the side mirror, but so far @actifit has refused to let me load it. Maybe come back tomorrow.

My steps today were mainly achieved by gardening, sorting out the last tomatoes, harvesting the onions, a bit of weeding and hoeing and a lot of back and forth looking for different tools

Holy crow that photo! Now you just need a hushed British dude narrating the action. ;)

Yeah, you're right :)
I wish I was better at taking photographs, or maybe I should just get a better phone. This one is really struggling.

Gosh! You have done quite a lot in your garden!! We have soggy and wet ground so not much could be done!
I think it’s time to prune the mango trees and bamboo too! A lot of work waiting to be done in my garden!

Yikes! Two things I’m terrified of!

My parents are getting their winter plants together too. I’m not quite there yet but I look forward to planting with my family. My daughter has already started some experimenting :)

Luckily, I was just a ring-side spectator :)
I need some grandchildren round me to help with the gardening ... :)
I was thinking about you yesterday, wondering how you are.
Hope all is well.
