How Long Can Chlamydia Stay

cursed ... Lazing

or:
"how to spend his holidays when you have nothing else to do."

family Muscari before starting one week vacation, came the touchy issue of POOL. A week far end of the garden, corresponding to 3 holes in the pool, you can guess the extent of damage after a week of vacation.

Mr. Muscari notes that it would be very wise to empty the bath before going to troll a change.
Indeed, no pool = no cat in the neighborhood psychopath = no holes.
QED !
Also the first time we had it installed, it was slightly sloped so, it's good, we'll even be able to put right.

The day before, we are therefore the whole family to drain the pool water to water the garden plants at the same time, to watered, (yes, we took the opportunity he hot!). One scoop is siphoning, it scours, is allowed to dry, fold it and ciao balance it all in The garage, things are going well now Cassos vacation, y'en tired of the pool.

[...]

Except that like big fools we are, the flange of the pool ... it was slaughtered.
By trying to scrub the bottom, the pampered, fold it, it was especially ragadée , scratched, sacked.
balance back from vacation ... go ... at least a dozen holes to find and patches to stick around on this ~#{[` \\ ^@]]#* my rod 2 which is said in passing (and here I am speaking to the builder if I read) was made in plastic M **** E

So Dear readers ( keynote speakers!), if you do not know what to do during your summer vacation, buy yourself a pool kit (and a lot of patches) and amuse yourself for hours!
(I can even give you the make and model if you want to be on top of bad luck)

pool Damn, I hate you.

Z Plan Price On Ford Focus





For some time I did not come to account for the evolution of my little corner of greenery and for good reason. We went from the autumn rain, Mistral and pullovers, and hop on June 10, the heat wave where you have to drag himself to bring Mowgli No. 1 in school then not lifting a finger under penalty turn into something dripping with sweat (yuck). So inevitably the garden took a hit. I still managed to mow and weed by ignoring the palm in my hand. So the jungle, we are now in the scrubland,






with even the cicadas!




For cons the garden waiting for next year:






at least it make a point of comparison for when I have done ...


But life goes in slow motion:


there is the jasmine bush rid of plants that were hiding. Litter behind because, if the garden does not change, it becomes home (door and windows displaced). So, if I want to give human face to my oasis of greenery, I'll have to make trips to the dump.
Soon enough, moreover, because I intend to get some plantuches vacation. Thus the import Tunisian Jasmine is, I tried a palm but has not supported the change of continent. I intend to take a "misc el-lil" musk of night (simultaneous), which smells at night or while another variety of jasmine flowers aves which the Tunisian bouquets are sold to tourists (I bring you photos).
Voili, voilou, good nap.

Tweed Jacket Elbow Patch

Shallow Grave ... The 1st

This morning I have a child's soul (or warrior, whatever) and I really wanted to show my good old Cluedo ...

Miss Rose or Colonel Mustard with the candlestick or the knife??

or not, I better ....

and if I had all the elements, or nearly at hand ....


The place: in the garden


The victim: Ms. or Mr. Grossebaveuse Cagouille


The murder weapon: while there I hesitate .. .

Failures in the garden ...

or
"in my garden, I 'm a quiche and smiley hoof "

I do not know about you, but for me, after having reviewed the garden in the middle of this year, I notice that there still some failures.

I know old news that I do not really have a green thumb ... but still ....

It was already begun in February with the planting of vegetables and flowers (I should have known better ...) soon lifted, and soon relapsed soon dried.
Period. At least it has the merit of being clear.

Well, let's ...
In March it was the turn of some shrubs (dogwood variegated and purple Cotinus) planted last fall. They suffered, hold on, a wave of heat (who would have thought). So here they are naked as worms roots up to about 50cm tall. Today they have a port some rather special umbrella-shaped! Please note, I intend to file patent !

Right now, it's too full of rain which caused injury to some: zucchini yellow so they drink the cup, I placed the orchid garden from the beautiful days passed away and the poppies were also deceased. BLOUP

What reassures me is that some elements are beyond my control. I can still not be the cause of all this carnage (it will be reassuring as you can!).

So there's weather, but also the dirty beasts of the garden. I appointed the first place: slugs, those who have cherished slobbering stomach as big as carrouf corner and nasty sharp teeth that attack all plantuches soft green color (ie all or almost all) .

have not escaped: hydrangea, gladioli, orchard and probably others who have had a VERY short-lived life!




The clematis has not escaped the attack of an insect which is called "X Beetle" (for unidentified), but I ate the Most of its young leaves.
[...]
Maybe this is indeed THE CAT. After all, it is not only the pool which is not like in my garden.

A check ...


Then comes the turn of plantations silly or inadequate:

A white phlox that I have moved. He was in full sun but may be too drained ground (if anyone has an idea to submit myself to restore it ... I liked to keep it a little longer in my garden!)

Frankly there It really makes the mouth!







A Heuchera 'Citronella' planted in full sun and who I think took a sunburn on her pretty little leaves.

Looks like she burned ...

... When I said I'm hopeless in the garden!



A spirea that desperately floundering (it is normally green anise ... "this is serious doctor ???")

It's still not my fault there, ... not?




Association Lavatera / squash Patisson will not rebuild in a bed of 70 cm wide: everything climbs over and pulls the wad to see who will grow the fastest and will largest of the great ... anything!







And finally: a garden in which my salads go to seed without going through the box "I m'étoffe. But that's my fault ... I followed the advice Guedin a book that advised throw all the seeds on the fly in his square and nature would have it, while push superbly and on time ... My eye
yes: everything grows in bulk, overlap, killing each other ... rising stock of salads, radishes and carrots Tiny hindering everyone.

That list of some big failures, but as my garden is not big ... the list is long!


Oh ... I forgot my pool patch, but that it matters not, it's not a plant!

Use Secondary Camera E71

Challenge Miss Canthus

... Yes, because that should not be believed, but the garden at this time there 's nothing to do, it turns thumbs (or shoots, as we want!) .

Observe:
- Plants grow by themselves without encroaching on others,
- They found the way to the nearest faucet and copiously s'arrosent end day (they know the plants that watered open Caniard it serves no purpose except to pick up a sunburn on their delicate leaves)
- They are the Slug pellets anti sparingly (as slugs have realized that they should not bother coming these ladies otherwise Banzai behind the ears, kick back in your face slug)
- And perspective weed plants out of their small hoe for waxing discretos the roots of these nasty.

So the sudden I have nothing more to do in my garden, if not learn to swim with cats.
And ask patches.

short in garden you understand it is IECH .

So Blowin-ty not certain that they are "duh if I threw a little challenge, like that story to occupy these gardening bloggers who trailed in their hammocks.
This day I have done better to cut my fingers with my shears, rather than responding like a goat "me, me, I can play with you?"

Not that I seek apology (with a lot of house chores, 3 children, husband with his shoulder loose, giant hair in hand, flegmingite acute and cat psychopath who must learn to swim ... all that, it matters not) but .... I AM OVER THE WAD.

Everyone has already given his copy (except me). Admire their work so there , there , here or again , ( ft also here).

But must know, I'm the queen of "I start but never finish (except for my children when I still made an effort, I will not support the "mom ...? why I have one eye (or an arm or leg .. .)?

So here's my contribution (poor, it is not a 4 / 20, go back in September Silvouplaît, it's sloppy work that Ms. )

First the corner next to the terrace, a garden in which we (well rather I) planted anything:
- plants that ultimately prove to be the family of plants monstro: Lavatera (size cup in March, looks like a baby elephant for six months beginning July ...), nepeta and gaura.
- a columbine saved at the city dump,
- cuttings planted the sedums goes-as-j'te shoot bein then we'll see if it grows ,
- droppings of cats (oh well no, that's not me)
- of vegetables (First, I do what I want in my flower beds)





Sorry, but the pictures really do not much about the color rendering (again: could do better ...)

Then comes the garden was renamed for the occasion:


Resto classified in Gault et Millau since April 2008 with a menu within 2 granules ferromol of drool and a dash of ... is the feast in the village.

And finally, a planter on the patio :


Okay, I admit I am clumsy comedy, outsized and labels made in a hurry (especially do not compare myself to what others have done participants or I cry) but I accepted the challenge ... I am?!

Say, there's not a new game, then I'm bored ...
