More Weeding – More Picking

Hello! Amazing how quick Friday seems to appear and disappear!! What are the grand weekend plans for everyone?
If the weather is reasonable tomorrow, Jeff and I want to dig up our potatoes. That will be a fun, grotty job!

Yesterday was lovely. I did nothing. I didn’t even get out of my nightie (A huge time saver when going back to bed… not having to turn the place upside down looking for it! 😀 )
I crocheted a few granny squares and generally relaxed!

Today – back into a bit of gardening. I popped around to Ruby’s and did a couple of hours in the garden

Sadly no parsnip germinated and only 10 carrots – will have to put some more in.

This plot was getting weedy and scruffy

I have left all the self seeded potatoes in – Ruby loves going and finding bonus chat potatoes.
I also used most of what was left of her seaweed and covered the entire plot to tidy it up and slow the weed regrowth.

After a cuppa, I went back home and did a bit in our garden. Mostly taking out the dried snow pea vines and collecting the pods… more than enough seeds for next season

And look!!

OK – they are really not fat enough yet, but they were sweet and it was so nice to FINALLY have some corn on the plate!

Monster Black Russian tomato!

I really enjoy picking food! It does mean a lot more kitchen time coming up, but its all so satisfying!

Hope everyone’s weekends are fabulous!

Cheers
