Planted Courgettes, Got Melons

by Superfrenchie

 

Can you find the baby melons?

 

My brother-in-law planted courgettes, and these grew instead. We suppose they come from melon seeds that made it into the compost heap last summer. SF.

Mrs Hoggett's Garden of Surprises

by Mrs Hoggett

Editor here. Mrs Hoggett can't talk because she is too busy canning. The sunflowers are nice, but they're for the birds to eat. The green beans have been canned. You see that lo-o-ong pepper down in the lower left-hand corner? It's been canned, too, thanks to Farmer Hoggett's bravery in tackling hazardous materials.

A new cage, not yet fully furnished.

 

P built it into two simple storage room shelves which he put back-to-back and closed on all sides.

 

The budgies now live free in the room because nothing can stop them anyway; we have a small shop-bought cage in case one has to be separated for a certain time and today out newest chick finally left its nesting box, so the remaining 1/4 of the old cage can be disassembled and we can put up new things for them on top of the shelves, etc. Tavaron
