My Tayberry is in its second year and is fruiting like mad again. The fruits are ready slightly earlier this year (must have been all the good weather we had in April). As last year they still looked like this in the first week of June.
But these beauties are definitely ready for eating – and that’s exactly what I plan to do! I reckon I’ve got maybe 15 – 20 Tayberries this year. Not bad for a pot grown plant.
The plant itself seems to be doing well too, vigorous and healthy. I did h
I don’t know about some of you, but I lived through the arcade years, battling it out with friends and foes trying to see how long your 20c can take you in a winner stays concept. I then moved away from smoke filled arcades to console gaming but missed the old arcade controllers so much that I bought a replica of it that hooked to my console to play fighting games.

Then I came across a post which got me smiling. Applying arcade buttons as light switches was pure genius. T
If these little student desks conjure up images of exams, sustained silent reading, and learning fractions, take a look at Pete Mills SpinArt Desk, which puts an artistic spin on these boring mini workstations. Pete found the desk for $10 at a local ReUse Center and added a box fan motor to make a piece of furniture that creates art suitable for proud display on the kitchen fridge.

Arecont Vision is releasing two new day/night panoramic cameras boasting 20 megapixels. Available in a 180-degree model and a 360-degree model, these high resolution cameras can do the work of an entire fleet of conventional cameras.
Multi-megapixel panoramic cameras are suited for monitoring vastly wide areas, yet offer the ability to zoom in on details like faces, license plate numbers and more. With digital zoom these specialized IP cameras can monitor multiple areas of interest, making it ideal for high traffic applications like large airports and crowded casinos.
The new Arecont Vision cameras will feature four sensors, each with 5 megapixels.
It is a pleasure to have a green wall in Trafalgar Square this summer, to cover some scaffolding. The green wall was sponsored by GE and the National Gallery, as part of its Carbon Plan. It was designed by landscape architect Shelley Mosco. It is based on Van Gogh’s Wheat Field with Cypresses (below left). Shelley’s planting design (below right) uses pointillist planting blocks for texture. The wall has 36 different species in 250×500mm modules, each containing 14 cells of 125×76mm). The living green wall is 4.8m x 7m and has over 8000 plants. Shell
