Another day of self imposed quarantine. Throat marginally better but still not worth going out and possibly sharing it around.
It turned nasty again – wind was battering everything and it turned a bit cold. Sigh. That 4 days of summer was so enjoyable!! 🙁
Did another raspberry pick. Quite a few never made it back to the house.
By now we should be thoroughly sick of dealing with cherry plums. We should be swimming in bucket loads. Weird season thats for sure!
Apart from the weeds, the main garden is going along ok. The runner beans are slowly climbing and showing flowers, the rhubarb is getting bigger and the spaced out beetroots are sitting up well. Need to harvest the garlic to make space for more beetroots!
Dinner again was a lot of fresh salad, a potato salad and some sausages dug out of the freezer. Of course, lots of berries at dessert time too!
We put a fire on to take the chill off the house which was quite nice but mad considering we are at the end of the first month of summer!!
Hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing post-Christmas time!
Cheers!
Zwanso day lilies! Love them. Have them here on our property. Did you know that they are the very first cultivar from the ubiquitous Ditch Lily, dated in the late 1860s! In my garden, they are thugs, spreading into areas where they weren’t planted. For me, a big plus, the deer walk right by them, not noshing on the buds at all.
No – I didn’t know anything about them – they were another inherited plant – just here when we moved in. So the deer don’t like them? Thats a plus!!! Mine have pretty much stayed in the area by the shed path – but the ground is pretty bad there, I am amazed they flourish at all, but not surprised they haven’t spread far.
Thank-you for the info!!!
What a rainbow of color in your photos!
Sorry you’re not up to snuff and hopefully you’re on the mend by now
Happy New Years!
Last day of the year today! Happy New Years to you too! My cold has reduced to a mere sniffle so thats good!
About to go and see what raspberries there are to pick! 🙂
