Really rubbish graffiti is what I saw today when I went to the project area. Someone/body who hasn’t had a good training in street art decided that the wall should be embellished with the words SMW K9, hardly a anarchic statement.

I suppose they just felt that they should make themselves knows, mark there ground so to speak, much like dogs wee on lampposts. The SMW K9 crew must feel the same as dogs, but as human sense of smell isn’t as great as a dog, humans resort to spray painting on ‘there’ patch.
Sadly even the colours that they used weren’t up to much a strange shade of red and purple spots, no highlights, no 3D effects, in fact nothing artistic about it at all, although I did like the purple/blue spots – now they had potential!
I suggest they check out http://www.bluedistortion.com/atlanta-graffiti/

These guys know a thing or two about graffiti, not exactly all my cup of tea but I certainly appreciate there art

I wouldn’t have minded so much if the graffiti kids had a statement to make, like we have nothing to do, or I hate Spar for not selling us White Lightening, I couldn’t even find an entry on the web relating to this political movement SMW K9 – unless they are into wrestling where I found a bit about a wrestler called Johnny K9 who had a break in SMW ??? Who knows perhaps that’s it they are wrestling fans and need a place to wrestle, or play act as the case might be.

Anyway as it wasn’t a very good piece of graffiti, and as the State Department of Wisconsin advised – I painted it out! Cream pain but hey it’s better than it was in fact it would look cool if all the wall was painted cream. Apparantly research suggests that if graffiti is removed with 24-48 hours it results in nearly zero rate of re-occurrence. But I bet this won’t be the case here!!!

We’ll see!

Anyway, I planted a Convolvulus, which I bought myself from the garden center, I know it’s not a wild flower but the foliage looks great and it has great bell shapped white flowers with yellow centers.

I also did a bit of wild flower sowing, again seeds I bought myself (£4.00) but 5p goes to the RSPB! Thanks Suttons ever so generous!

I’ve decided to start them indoors in a seed tray so at least they should get a flying start. I put in Wild Poppy, Ox-Eye Daisy, Corn Marigold, Scabious and Wild Pansy. So all things being equal in a couple of months they can be planted in the plot, should be a nice sight in summer.

Anyway see ya soon
