Hello!! Welcome to the middle of the week! 🙂
Just a quick note about commenting. I have tried to add ‘captcha’ to weed out some intensely irritating spam. It means you have to do some higher math to make a comment! PLEASE let me know if it it dead annoying, or not working etc. I will try to make any of you commenting exempt (I can add you to a ‘whitelist’)(But my skill with this sort of thing is limited so…. bear with me!) I am not getting bucketloads of spam, but one company is absolutely slamming me with their messages – each message fills about 4 full pages and they sent 11 yesterday alone!! So scrolling down and mucking about with these “insert favourite insulting name here” is really getting up my nose!! I am just afraid if I blanket-delete the spam folder I will put someone legit in the trash, as I have had a few of you go to my spam folder for whatever weird reason!
Anyway – love the comments from real people!! 😀 😀
So – today was really lovely and sunny – so I fixed that weather problem by doing a couple of loads of laundry – haha
I think its still a bit early, but I had to plant some more seeds – curious to see how they germinate as I have collected them all myself
Trying zucchini, pumpkin, cucumber & Marigolds
Do you remember Ruby’s tip about watering seeds and seedlings? I leave a watering can or bucket of water in the hothouse to keep it a moderate temperature to water my new plants with, instead of using cold water. Its kinder – as an elderly relative told Nurse-Ruby “You wouldn’t give a new-born cold milk, would you?!!”
I also took time to burn our ‘burnables’ Once that got going it was hard to tear myself away, as there was a lot of garden off-cuts that could have done with burning off and tidying!! (But I had the back veranda to clean)
The back veranda really had gotten into a state – partly due to hauling the wood in, partly due to Jeff’s new whittling for ‘fat wood’ hobby, sad pot plants (remember I said I suck at keeping potted plants nice) and rain/mud/leaves etc. So I fixed it today. (OK the deck could use a good scrub but I wasn’t getting that over-excited about cleaning)
Here’s hoping the weather keeps on the up & up!! Its great being outside again more than once a week!!
Cheers!
