Whilst outside in the garden today I noticed something moving about in the flowerbeds but wasn’t sure what it was. Closer inspection revealed it to be a little frog! I think I first saw this frog a couple of years ago in the back garden hopping about near the rosemary on the back wall of a south facing border. It was quite a small frog at the time and now has grown quite large. The thing is I cannot think where it has come from because as far as I know there are no ponds or relevant water features in my local area.

Anyway I dashed inside to get my camera and took a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure. And I hereby have named this creature ‘Frogsley Frog’

Yes, folks it’s that time again for the latest TNU from Casa Marge. I have to report the the tomatoes on the windowsill which sit in front of the very computer I am typing at have started not only to grow somewhat triffid like, but also to flower. This means only one thing - after the flowers comes the fruits!

You may notice the plant pots are much larger.  This is thanks to Retired Father who found some very reasonable new plastic pots at a shop in town.  He also potted the plants on for me too.  I was rather busy with all the Pesach preparations at the time.  In the above photo you can just about see the yellow flowers that have formed.  The pic below shows a close up:

I am surprised at how well the tomato plants are doing.  I will now start to apply a little foliar feed once a week and possibly some extra tomato feed once more flowers are produced.  I am hoping for a bumper crop … and then I will have to work out (and post!) some recipes for you.
