Some nice sun and rain. Is there much happening in your garden?

I’m getting a lot of nasturtium flowers and some California poppies blooming in the pots. It’s a riot of yellow and orange but there isn’t a lot that’s necessary for me to do.

Enjoy it with a cuppa.

You managed to grow nasturtium? Probably in house. All my attempts ends same way, it got eaten by possum. It seems to be too tasty.

I planted absolutely heaps of it, and most of the pots were close to the door where the cat sits. Maybe possums and mice can smell her.

The first ones in a different area did get completely eaten and so did the one furthest away from the door.

It seems my cat is sleeping on duty :-) ( he is 17 y.o. so it is excusable ) or I have brave and very hungry possums around.

Mine is 18 but maybe they’ve seen her jump up against the door and are scared to test her.
