One snail plucked off the purple sprouting broccoli, five frogs in the pond and something scurrying in the undergrowth.  Starry sky and faint scents of lilac and honeysuckle flirting with the cool dry night air.

Mrs Banjoman  Oh how I wish the lilac lasted longer.  The scent is gorgeous.   

Our honeysuckle is a late one and usually hangs over next door so we get very little benefit.  But our slugs and snails seem down this year.  Have found a few shattered shells though so maybe a thrush has been helping us out.

Bentonbag  I think I've managed to get a cutting off mine.  It's only a couple of inches at present but you're welcome to it.

Mrs Banjoman  A cutting of what exactly?  If it’s a slug, please don’t bother. 😁

Bentonbag  Honeysuckle - and I've far more tomato seedlings that we need.

Mrs Banjoman  We have a very Odd shaped plot I.e. we are on the corner and when we plant things like honeysuckle they tend to gravitate towards our neighbours who have the light.  But thanks for the offer.  Enjoy yours.  This time of year is great for scents in the late afternoon and evening.  And we are blessed (note the annoying Americanism that seems to infect a lot of posts these days) with a plethora of birds.  And the resulting poop, obs..x

Bentonbag  Fester and I took our coffee in the garden yesterday evening and a bird pooped on him; fortunately he was shirtless so it just wiped off.  That's what you get for sitting too close to the tree holding the birdfeeder.

Mrs Banjoman  Wear a 👨‍🌾 👨‍🌾

Mrs Banjoman  That is supposed to be a hat.   I am not very good with emojis.  

Just cannot be bothered to put in the time I’m afraid to say.

Bentonbag  He has a wipe clean head.  A hat would require washing - and guess who'd end up doing that? 🤔
