Taking Over the Decks

I thought you might like to see my little garden on the foredeck.  There are lettuces, tomatoes, chillis, various herbs and flowers (red, white and blue for this patriotic year!)

Shhhh...don't tell Pete, but there is more to come!

Secondly, an apology.  I have been reading your blogs at work and commenting away, until I realised today that my comments weren't showing on your posts.  So bear with me while I try to work out what has gone wrong, but I am reading them all and thoroughly enjoying them.

Tanya - Actually it was a Vax with a very long hose and a large water bottle half way along the hose.  Amazing to see.  I will post a picture soon of the swarm box, it is now sitting on the allotment.

Kay - They made their way in through an open office window at the back of the jewellers.  I don't know what attracted them though.

Diane - I amazed myself, but you do feel very protected in those bee suits.  I can't wait to get my own honey.

Margy - I have been stung by a wasp before, but never a bee.  My beehandler says it is about confidence and being nice to the bees.  I am trying to take his word for it!

Kellie - Not really brave, some would say mad!

SFT - Wasps are a whole different ball game, I would definitely stay away from them.  I wish more people would grow flowers for the bees, we need to protect them more.
