Ruby Tuesday – Strawberries In

Ruby’s first raised garden bed!

Hello! I am a bit all over the place when it has come to keeping my Ruby Tuesday schedule… We have been back and forth a lot more, dabbling in her garden while the weather has been kinder.

Earlier this week you saw we filled up her new raised garden bed – naturally as soon as we were out of sight she was back in the garden digging up strawberry plants and getting them in! I really hope she enjoys using this newfangled garden!!

Last week Ruby’s potatoes looked like this-

Yesterday while Jeff was chopping wood and filling the trailer, I attended to a few garden issues, like the potatoes

Lots of tiny weeds pulled up and hoed between the rows

Lots of colour everywhere. I really like the way Ruby has so many flowering plants in among her main vegetable garden. Its productive AND pretty!

After some advice from a reader, (Thank-you Amy) I went and asked Ruby if I could collect some nasturtium seeds, as I plan to try to grow them among the pumpkins and zucchini

Lots of seeds under here!

Oh course, a visit is not complete without a cuppa. But this time the nurses got together to… nurse! lol  Jeff needed a BP reading for a doctors appointment so Ruby was delighted to get out her blood pressure cuff and sort him out!

Therein ensued a very nursey talk about how things were done in the old days, equipment etc.  Jeff was saying he was so glad he worked in the time of electronic thermometers!  But Ruby loved the old style thermometer… simply because it took some time to register and get a reading, she said it was the only time they got to sit and rest!

Once a nurse… always a nurse!

Next on our list when we go to collect more wood is to juice as many lemons as possible and freeze! Look at how wonderful her tree is!

Hope you have had a great day!
