Foggy Days

                                        The beach

So , I've had three or four days of migraine misery and I'm now at the feeling washed out stage after it  .

                            ✨✨⛈️🌈⚡πŸ’₯πŸ’«πŸ«¨πŸ₯΅✨✨😱

And the weather kind of matches how I'm feeling ....ugh .....

 It is foggy .........

                          Looking out to sea along the cliffs

                                 ......... this is day two of fogginess .

 It's not unheard of for it to hang around for two weeks . We didn't let it stop us from getting out for our walk .

                                   πŸŒ«️🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️

Anyway ,

 My new string has arrived !  I know that most of you out there won't understand ,  but look at it ! 🀩    Isn't it gorgeous ? !   πŸ˜ƒ  I'm in love !  

                   This little bit of string is making me feel SO happy !

Next year I will fix up this paracord before the cucumbers get scrabbling !

                    There are lots of flowers and fruits on them now .


 I fixed up the paracord and went round gently resting the cucumber vines on and around it . They can now climb up to the roof and over to the other side .
Everything is happily rambling , Epiphyllums ,  Bowiea volubilis , Tomatoes , Passiflora manicata , Hylocereus undatus , cucumbers .
             Wonderful ! There is a feeling of happiness in my greenhouse . 
            All is well .....

  So long as I can get in to water everything , everybody happy !

The cucumbers I'm growing ----
  Cucumbers - Merlin are about 7" and Carmen F1 about 13" to 16"                  

We are getting one every other day now . This is  Cucumber Carmen F1 . My granddaughter taking this one down to the kitchen . They are beautiful !

 My grandchildren have been great ! 

             They  have been so helpful weeding the gravel area for me .

         The garden is full of lovely flowers now .




We did have one lovely sunny day , but the wind was so strong and cold .


          The wind scorched back the leaves of my Voodoo lilies . 


....This Sauromatum venosum  voodoo lily had it's beautiful spathe snapped backwards .....such a shame ...these are fascinating plants .

Over in the shed ...


I am keeping a close eye on those Epiphyllum cuttings .


Epiphyllum Marilyn Monroe is growing away merrily, but not staying inside the plant support I gave her . No flower buds this year .  Maybe later on .


Nice new shoots and I have a cutting for my brother .🌿

Agaves again !  🌿


        Re-potting my bigger Agaves and potting up these tiny off shoots .


They should grow away happily now . 


                 Happy little Agave pups .


Some of the others that I tidied up . I really need more horticultural grit. It is so expensive . These need to have really good drainage .  This will have to do for the time being .


                      This makes me chuckle !


Disaster in the woodshed . Someone overloaded the shelving and I walked in to find it collapsed .
       I managed to recover most of the plants . Just one pelargonium smashed . 
    I want to get all of these plants out and into the garden as soon as possible .
 Cosmos , Hollyhocks , Pelargoniums and even the Dahlias if I can manage it .


           Another little job to do .   I'll show you tomorrow  . 

                            Cheerio fer now !  

                            Peace and Love  πŸ’Debbie xxx

      No one's looking at this , you're all watching football !
