They look too big to make it! When they sit hunched on the shore they remind me of "Icarus" - a human wrapped in feathers...<br /><br />Mickle - all harvesting complete and now onto winter planting. Phew. Muscles aching but happy heart! Button was busy hunting mice - she too had a successful day - sigh. The grass is doing great, and yes Button likes a munch of it too. Hope your summer is less soggy than your Spring! I bet big Zebbycat has loud purrumbles!<br /><br />Walrus21 - hmmmm I was wondering about starting some broad beans off now to see how they compare with later plantings. Might be a bit ambitious, but you're close to the shore and it works for you? So might just give it a try!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-82481060695025123072009-10-18T09:31:05.728+01:002009-10-18T09:31:05.728+01:00Good luck with the gardening, I hope the weather h...Good luck with the gardening, I hope the weather holds for you.

Such a pity that cats don't graze on grass (Zebby does like to have a daily munchfull of the grass out there - vets advise that some cats just do that)<br /><br />Enjoy Autumn, care and huggles from a very damp and soggy Wellington attempt at Springtime,<br /><br />Michelle and Zebbycat, xxx and sleeping on the bed all day purrrrumblesMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-35267462259062189622009-10-17T14:33:35.853+01:002009-10-17T14:33:35.853+01:00Love those great blue herons - and they're EVE...Love those great blue herons - and they're EVERYWHERE.
