Hi Friend!
It has been rather dry these past weeks in Newcastle and although we are starting to get a bit more rain the state of our garden has been rather pitiful. This could be put down to a number of things a) it is a very good day when we remember to water it b) our 'garden' consists of a couple of pots on a balcony so small that to have a barbecue you would have to stand inside the house to turn your sausages and c) the soil in these pots is so hard and dry I often think it is cruel to keep worms in there. So things were looking bad for us indeed. Instead of stealing soil from our nearby park, my cat-woman stealth suit isn't quite ready and James strongly objects, we decided to get some fertiliser from the 'Green Helping Hand'!

| Sunflower sprouts, so easy even we managed |
The 'Green Helping Hand' is a locally based company that is reducing Newcastle's food wastage by taking degradable food scraps from Cafe's and Restaurants and composting them. Anyway, we used some of the liquid fertiliser that Nick delivered to our very door on our sick little plants. They are making a full recovery, thank goodness, because I HATE buying herbs. So here are our herby babies:

| More dill for us! Yippity! |

Our sad, sad mint on its way back, go strong friend

Thanks Nick and Nick, for our Garden revival!!
