Hello Friday!
I went over to Ruby’s and found her giving her hothouse plants a good soaking! She is so proud of how beautiful all her tomatoes and lettuce are looking so far! (Always worth a few barrowloads of mushroom compost!)
This was all over weeds knee high. Ruby has been working hard at clearing it out – handy chair on the right there that she worked from!
I got in and finished the last of the big clumps that were holding on.
Fiona also dropped in and started weeding one of the other patches too!
Over the other side Ruby has planted a number of pumpkins. They popped up randomly, so she relocated them so they can run wild here.
All tucked up in their little shelters while they get a hold on the world.
I made a start on clearing out the weeds in here. Plenty of parsley popping up which I left – a few potato plants too which I also left.
I really really need a few trips to the beach for seaweed!!
The Christmas peas looking fabulous
She has lots of broccoli plants in that are also doing well
Love that hothouse!
Ruby lost her marjoram… She was telling me she planted it somewhere and forgot where! By luck I found it today! I have never grown it so I wasn’t familiar with its look or smell. But it looked herb-like…. then I found the tag too! Ruby was very pleased! We put a little stake next to it so she can spot it more easily. It was also looking a little sad, so I dug in a few generous handfuls of compost all around it.
Then it was cuppa time! Ruby made us some pikelets (not a bad feat when you are blind! She did a great job and they tasted great and hit the spot!
Hope everyone has a super weekend planned!
Time for bed for me – its 2.30am!!! (I thought it was a good idea to go on a midnight hike to see if I could see the meteorite shower. Sigh… the bits of sky that were not cloud obliterated didn’t have any action happening!)
Cheers!
I love your Ruby stories-thanks for sharing!
I wanna be Ruby when I grow up! )
Thanks Caroline! I so hope I can be gardening at 101 too!! 😀

Hi Susan… pretty late reply (I can’t control devices outside my PC it seems haha)
Ruby is doing well. Would you believe she just had a trip over to Western Australia???? She did so well too apparently! We haven’t seen her as we only got in last night.
