The House Turns Quiet!

Finally! A pumpkin!

My sister Michelle and her family drove off east this morning and will head south for a few days before coming back up here prior to taking the boat back to the mainland.

Its weirdly quiet!! 🙂

I planned to plant some seeds and muck about in the garden but it was a hideous day and the rain continues to steadily fall even now – so I pretty much did nothing useful at all.

Oddly for the season, a lot of chillies  are ripening!

Rogue potato in the new garden where I planted bulbs – byproduct of my compost! Not sure there is enough space for it to do anything decent, but I will leave it and see what happens.

Garlic coming along nicely. NEEDS mulching

Seeds from a giant pumpkin. Will give growing one another go this season.

And its lovely to see my tulips starting to come out – and be battered by the rain! Poor things.

Have a wonderful day!

Cheers!
