The Adventures of Cato, Tara and Jasmine

Looks great!  I wish I could get my plants to grow so well.  I've killed so many poor defenseless plants.  Not intentionally, of course, but through my overeager attempts to get them to thrive.  

I can't wait to hear Missy's take on if the ghosties are still present or, if  they have vacated.  

 

Look at all those babies on the spider plant. 

One year my Gran said to me, what would I like for my birthday. I said would she be able to buy me an African violet plant.. 

And she she did ? My second plant was a spider plant ?

my first plant was tuberous begonia.

hooked for life.

they are such gaudy blowsy over the top things, but i still keep growing them.  Can't help meself. 

Who's the black dog that lives in the window now?

Maybe it's a big hairy monster in your house now Tara...Run 

WOW what a difference!! It looks Very nice but what's that double loopy thing over the black monster?!! Maybe that's the loop you're gonna catch him in?!! 

Cato & Tara do you go down there now? Me thinks the ghost and baby may have left! And the monster does look nice enough, besides you have a noose to catch him in if not!  Can't wait to hear if it's safe now, mom did a Ton of work, super job mom! Missy

  the noose is my archway.

Just plain metal.  I wonder if my camera can take a photo of the fairy lights, at night... hold on.

With flash:

and without - while Tara ran over my foot in the dark, hence the shaky double image. 

I spent 3 years trying to train green stuff up it (2 diff clematis and a morning glory) but they all refused to do it.  They didn't want to grow into the shadow of the side alley.

Actually these photos look horrible.  In real life, there is a kind of softening charm on the brickwork.  looks much nicer.  And when all my ferns and the hosta have sprouted, and I have begonias on the water butt, it feels good down there.  Cool and not monstery.

 

Oh Wow is that Gorgeous!! Thanks so much for going out and taking the pics, it's just flat Gorgeous, love the fairy lights!! Yep no ghosts for sure now, they hate fairies- or so Missy says!! 

Busy lady today cleaning and all........just love your fairy lights........I bet it looks really cool at night......be sure to post pictures when your ferns and hosta have sprouted........any house plant that I have tried to grow inside just hits the trash can a couple months afterwards so gave up.......yours look great..........from the looks of things I think your monsters may have left.......or they have turned into nice monsters now that Mom has rearranged things to their liking.........time will tell.

Love those fairy lights, beautiful

Haha!  @Amy0515 and @Sophie's Haven the secret to house plants is using self watering pots.  You pot them up with earth in the top of the planter, fill the bottom half with water and dissolved fertiser, and the roots grow down and suck up water when they need it.  When the water level drops, you splash in a bit more water.  So easy.  I go round once every week or two and top up the water if necessary.  Can leave them during the holidays without worry.

I wanted to tell you that I loved your fairy lites so much that I just ordered some for my arbor........never had luck growing anything on it so these lites will be just the thing.....I can't wait until they get here.......thanks for showing your trellis..........

Brilliant!  We will need 

LOTS of pics. 

I have to say I love your idea of the fairy lights too.. 

Think I may be borrowing it too
