Have we welcomed you to the Cold Dark Room?

I’m Linda and I live in Kent in South East England.

We’re an international bunch of idiots /friends here who sometimes talk tortoise and fairly regularly talk puns and nonsense.

Pull up an armadillo and the one-legged pirate will be along shortly to bring you your beverage of choice. The big armadillo is called Montgomery and is a very obliging coffee table, especially if you dust him or tickle him under the chin.

It’s rather gloomy in here, but the flying jellyfish glow a little brighter when you polish them. The blueberry ones seem to be glowing brightest at the moment.

Watch your step; it’s easy to stub your toe on the hedgehogs in the gloom. The wool spider, if she exists, seems to be in a better mood since we locked the leprechaun in a jellyfish tank. The snow leopard is very friendly and eats carrots :)

hey guys you know if these plants are safe?
i won’t feed them soon.

Not sure if anyone replied, but the Tort Table says

❌ - IMPATIENS - All parts of this plant are high in oxalates so best to avoid, but no worries if your tortoise eats a small amount.

I see @JoesMum popped in here & provided info too.

The predicted soaking rain arrived on schedule. Pouring rain. Garden is soaked, grass is soaked, the low area in our back garden is already submerged. Glad we cut grass yesterday & got it all done.

On another water topic, on the way home from kayaking yesterday I stopped by. Tropical Plants/Water specialty shop & picked up some water plants for my mini water garden. A nice yellow flowering Marsh Marigold and two Water Lettuce plants. I might need a few Water Hyacinth as well and some tadpoles too!

And...on a third topic, lets talk Turkey, not the country, the might bird! While tucked back in a secluded cove yesterday, I heard a Tom Turkey gaggling away. Very interesting, haven't heard one in awhile. To top this off, right after picking up the water plants, right down the road I spotted a separate lone turkey out picking food along a field.

And since you asked....another pix from yesterday.

Good afternoon All. It was a beautiful sunny day this morning. So after shopping. Out came the lawn mower and I cut the grass. I pulled out my sweetcorn as the sweetcorn that had grown, mice had for dinner. ?‍♀️

I planted a potato. But I think that I should plant some onions as well.

But that will have to be tomorrow as the weather is changing.

Here or somewhere on Saint Patrick's Day...your supposed to plant a potato. It's worth doing especially if it's a gold potato.
