Hi!
We’ve had a few rather nice days – good enough to be in a t-shirt while working outside!!
My spring onions above… sigh. Poor things. I dug them out of a patch months ago and dumped them on a stump. Undeterred… they are growing nicely!!
I’ll be kind to them soon and find them a plot to stretch their legs in.
Garlic… talking about garlic all year in that offhand way “Yeah I don’t plant until mid June”
How did mid June arrive without me properly noticing????
Panic…
Flea’s foot is doing a lot better… we bring her out of the hothouse to play in the garden when the weather is nice.
She was really happy helping me in this plot! Worms galore!!
As usual it was the twitch that slowed me down a lot.
I topped the plot up with a little of the leftover fancy compost I bought ages back and some leaf mould compost.
(All looking scrumptious)
Got my garlic (Purple)(And you can see IT knows when to grow even if I don’t!)
Ready to go…
I don’t even want to show you the next photo… but I will…
Seems like a horrible waste.
But by the time these got to the red (ish) stage they weren’t tasting very nice and they were bruising quickly. (and half eaten by slugs) The season was not on the side of the tomatoes this year.
So… I hardened my heart and just ripped it all out.
Flea was on hand to assist here too
Another worm smorgasbord!
This plot will be for the white garlic. I need to go into town and get some blood and bone to dig through… that’s on tomorrows job list.
Remember how Flossie-Veloci was looking so scruffy a while back?
She is now super sleek and pretty!
Moving right along…
The blueberries!
Margie just got a big garage/shed built and I managed to snaffle the carboard packing!!
That and several barrow loads of the macrocarpa woodchip and voila!
Much Better!
Cousin Jeff came around yesterday morning with his son and his wood splitter and split the rest of the wood that seemed impenetrable to the axe
I’ve probably gotten about half stacked
Its pretty green so it won’t be used for a good long while
Getting a few nice evening skies too when the weather is on form
And nothing much changes in Pips world.
As long as there is a warm towel and a comfy chair?
Life is grand!
Cheers!
