Pay It Forward

After reading Becky's blog - http://purplesparklecrafts.blogspot.com/ and Laa Laa's blog http://hookinwithlaalaa.blogspot.com/ this morning. I'm intrigued with the Pay It Forward scheme they're both setting up.

So much so, I'm going to do the same thing :)

The idea is that random acts of kindness are given without expecting anything in return. Just passing on the kindness, hoping that your recipients will do the same and forming a never-ending chain of kindness.


I promise to make and send a gift to the first 3 friends who comment on this post requesting to join in and promising to Pay it Forward to 3 other people etc..... I don't know what my gifts will be but I promise to send them within the next 365 days. What you then have to do in return is to promise to Pay it Forward by making the same announcement and promise on YOUR blog.

Strawbs, Sunflowers and a sneaky pea

A quick photo catch up on the current state of growing in the garden.

Pots of lime basil and lemon balm on the kitchen windowsill.

Abi playing on the swing set we were gifted on freecycle.

The teeny limes growing on my lime trees

The wild strawberry plant that seems desperate to escape it's pot. So many many runners.

Potted on as many as I had pots for :)

The sunflower race is going strong, Steve currently in the lead. *plots ;)*

Some very sorry hops we've been gifted from freecycle, they should be fine with a bit of TLC.

A big pot of sweetpeas by the side door.

Some tumbling toms

More sweetpeas, cornflowers, a goji berry bush and a sleeping cat :)

My little shelving system of herbs and salad.

The herb bed is exploding with life. I've chopped the parsley right back today.

and now have a large bunch drying in my kitchen.

View of the whole patio

The peas, beans, rhubarb and some extra taters.
