Green Fingers


I have been delveing into my family history, on and off, for a while now and having searched the photos i believe this to be my Great Grandma Emily. Having seen the size of this sunflower I am desperately hoping that her green fingers have passed to me. I adore gardening and have visited many gardens, but never have i seen such an emormous specimen. A positive Triffid! It looks like she had an amazing garden and possibly some hens so we have that in common too.
My Silver Grey Dorking who has gone broody is now sitting tightly on a clutch of Bantam Wyandotte eggs. The cockeral is a Buff and his girlfriends are Buff, Pencilled, and Silver Laced (otherwise known as Buffy, HB, and Coco), so im hoping for a selection of chicks. Its her first time going broody so fingers crossed that she is a good mum.
