Clematis

 Clematis are easy to grow climbing plants, which add height and colour to your garden. They use virtually no room as you just shove them in near the base of whatever it is you wish them to climb up. You can even plant them in pots next to walls and then climb them up trellis or wiring. In my garden they climb up either obelisks, trellis or over my balcony and up through my wisteria. Brilliant flowers for no real effort, though water any in pots in dry weather.

Benji hiding

Apologies for not uploading anything for a while. My computer died. Relying on friends at the moment until mine fixed.  Was also very busy last week so first post my cats enjoying the brief sunny spell last week.

Courageous camouflaged cat and wonderful wisteria

Dangerously sleeping

Wonderful wisteria

This is my cat, full name Benjamin Dangerous Einstein Boo, or Benji-boo for short. Our vet said the reason he was so scared of everything when we first got him was because he lacked intelligence even by cat standards and so danger would never be his middle name. Well we decided to change that and give him something to live up to.

Here he is now cleverly camouflaged in the wisteria and dangerously daring to sleep on the top rail of the balcony.

Beautiful Benji Boo
