Funny weather. Yesterday was as gorgeous as the day before was miserable. Today it dove back into rain and cold! I ended up deciding I had no good excuses not to stay inside and attend to some housework. I suppose it has to be done sometime!
Tentacular is due for another trim. He just keeps getting wilder. At the moment he grabs my hair when I am walking about in the hothouse!
On the upside… seems to be lots of fruit which I am mega-excited about!
Lots are small and just starting but there are some good sized ones in there too!
Getting in and out of the hothouse is becoming more of a challenge!
Seeing a lot more flowers on the tomato plants… but no baby tomatoes as yet.
Both lots of laterals I had in a jar are doing rather well. Time to plant out!
I think I am seeing daily changes in the cucumbers too
This little plot is looking pretty good. I am hoping I have bought my last lettuce for the season… (Maybe?)
Also pleased to finally see some snow pea flowers!
Plenty of baby apples on the trees
The sunflower seeds that Emma planted the other day have popped up too!!
I took advantage of the sunshine yesterday to do a bit of a tidy up in the main garden. The corn I think is woefully slow. I might just be being impatient. Still, I gave it a good weeding.
I had left the second snow pea patch a bit long… the plants were a bit tangled in the net. Hopefully they will grab on to the rebar and get going again.
I weeded the rest of this patch (again!!) Still no idea what to do with all those self seeded tomatoes.
The celery is going to seed so I took a heap of stalks off to cut and freeze for later use.
At the end of the day I got a bee in my bonnet about making a new garden bed. I haven’t seen the fellow at the market for ages who I wanted to buy new beds off… so I thought I might make one out of bricks.
We got a load of free bricks an eon ago and they really haven’t been put to much use yet.
I didn’t quite finish the job as it was getting late in the day, but I need to put another barrow load of mushroom compost in it (at least). I used a lot of the soil that we dug up when digging post holes for the fence. (Lucky our topsoil is deep)
I have plans to put those laterals in here… Think I might be able to squeeze in eight of them!
The paper daisy plants I put in a while ago are looking really sweet!
Anyway, it sounds a bit wild out there but tomorrow could easily be a beautiful sunny day. Always the surprise here (especially if you don’t bother looking at the forecast!)
Have a lovely day everyone!
Cheers!
