Show Us Your Pictures 6

[AnneKipankitoo]

To continue into Spring 2022.

Unfortunately, I am not sure how many pictures I will be able to supply this year . Some builders are in building an extension for me .
I might have to live off all your lovely photos. Keep them coming!💐

Not particularly strong @Sweetpea1532

My garden has got a bit wild - now the nesting season is over I really need to tackle the ivy. It's quite tricky as it's high and on a slope!

Gorgeous @WobblyLondoner

Your garden looks very lush and verdant WobblyLondoner

Beautiful day here in the South East here are a few late summer blooms Hibiscus and Perlagonium

@applecatchers36 nice kale (yes?).

Feel my garden on point where lush becomes overgrown, so hacking back the ivy today.

This is my favourite patch at the moment - two persicaria bought at Beth Chatto's garden a few years ago. They've loved the rain!

WobblyLondoner not kale, at the back of the Perlagonium think the tall leafs are crocosima ..

Those persicaria looks very healthy!

@applecatchers36 that is so odd - the pictures in your post now are different to what I saw when I first looked - I swear it was some kale and then some little crocuses. Weird!

You must have thought I was a bit bonkers! Kale 😆

Shame as am partial to a bit of Kale though!

The last of the Nicotiana twining round the latest Clematis blossoms.

☆☆☆TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SMALL RODENTS☆☆☆

Well, the Sweetpea1532 cafe is shutting down...the mice have decided to try and add lodging to the cafe...not happening! Last night, I smelled something dodgy in our guestroom (which my nephew had vacated 2 days prior after a one night visit)..I took a torch round and found a little dead mouse under the cupboard.🤢 P U ! So out with their tomatoes ...punnits of cherry tomatoes from the shops are tonnes cheaper than mouse traps

I had mice in my car. I became a mouse murderer.
They like peanut butter.
I had had a minor bump in my car and the repair was rubbish. Mice got in. I set traps by the wheels and I had caught about 40.
( not at once )
However at one point the traps started to disappear. I tied them to bricks.
The traps and the bricks disappeared.

Oh mice 

Every now and then I'll be upstairs and I'll hear my husband let out this incredibly high pitched squeal - and I know he's just encountered another of the bloody things. Still, at least they aren't rats eh..

@KingscoteStaff I'm so impressed with your clematis! By this time of year mine are rather ravaged. Yours look so pristine!!

@beautyisfoundwithin what is happening around your parts? Are your peas ready for that feast we talked about last year?

Oh@AnneKipankitoo ...you have won the prize for most horrible, disgusting rodent event.....did you ever locate all your traps.?...if it happens again maybe you should write your address on the traps to see how far of a journey they take
I just couldn't throw away the cherry tomato plant so ive put it in a bucket of water in our very back garden....it is so, so healthy with lots of green fruit and little yellow flowers...it probably won't live, but it's worth a try.

I reckon it was a fox pulling the traps away.

Ah ha! And then he could eat them...win-win..he got an easy supper and you didnt have to deal with smushed m#*e@AnneKipankitoo

We have had empty rabbit left for us

I say “us” but I mean me.

Ewww!

Here's some colour from my front garden that we call Society Garlic...pretty flowers but the garlicky smell gets on your hands when you touch it. I have a photo of my 86 year old neighbour who dislikes ground squirrels almost as much as I do.,but he's an ole softy because he takes them up to the park to release them🙄
You'll have to magic up the photo of my neighbour in your head, though because MN won't let me post that one....squirrel is grey with little spots, and in a cruelfree cage... neighbour has a head full of grey hair.

Gorgeous!
I like the little toy @Sweetpea1532 .

I have started a new thread in Gardening but it’s not letting me link it .

Here's my neighbour with a pesky squirrel.

Thank you@AnneKipankitoo for starting thread number 7!

Thanks@AnneKipankitoo the little toy is a hummingbird with wings that go round and round with the wind.
