Pottering

We were out doing a few bits in the garden yesterday, mainly I want to get the lavender cut. I just cut the flower heads off to dry them and gather some seeds. I’d like to make some lavender bags with it this year, so will be good to see how much I can collect.

Whilst we were out there a very brave praying mantis came and sat himself on Brian’s shoulder. He was a friendly little chap, and seemed very happy to just sit there and be walked around the garden.

I planted a butternut squash plant some while ago, I think a little late, but it has started to bare some fruit, so I’m excited to see if they ripen up. I just love butternut squash, so it will be great to have a small crop.
