I still have to plant up our cut flower beds this year, I've not even weeded them yet, but I love the idea of doing some guerrilla gardening with the boys.

What a g...I LOVE the flower bombs you've made. What a great idea and definitely something I'd like to do! Thanks for your comments on my blog too. I read the bit about 'going light' and it was very interesting. I had been worrying a bit because I'd scattered a few suet pellets on the ground for the wild birds and the chickens had eaten a few (in fact, the chickens loved them!) and that was about the time when the troubles started. I have stopped giving them access to these now. They are currently fed on Smallholder Ex-batt crumbs or sometimes layers mash if I can't get hold of any crumbs and we give them chickweed and lettuce scraps. The grit is something that I need to do though. I have bought it in the past, but the pieces seemed so large, so I've always ground it up a bit with a pestle and morter first and the chickens have pecked a bit at it, thought mostly it gets scattered into the floor and lost. I will get some more though after reading the article. The chooks are currently on antibiotics which DH and I have to squirt into their beaks twice a day for a week!! I am going round stinking of chicken poo - I won't have any friends left by the end of the week!! Thanks for your comments, they were really helpful! xxxxxPippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408966937409943839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578607779448469665.post-26088325730754223322012-04-28T16:10:58.304+01:002012-04-28T16:10:58.304+01:00aw, poor bubbles! and great photos...fee xaw, poor bubbles! and great photos...fee xfee @ chipper nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03413221467666029415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-578607779448469665.post-55851765989781789922012-04-26T22:43:30.273+01:002012-04-26T22:43:30.273+01:00That would be so much fun...making and placing the...That would be so much fun...making and placing the flower bombs!
