I left the house today!! Went out in my toot toot car!! Went to the allotment!!! Saw a green woodpecker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
25 radish seedlings. Sowed peas today in the garden planter.
Pak choi are growing well in their tub.
Loads of iris have opened!! Very happy. I am already
planning what bulbs I am going to plant this coming autumn. Basically more of
everything. I planted well over 500 bulbs last autumn so another 500 would be
good.
On the allotment:
·
Topped up bird feeders
·
Watched the birds
·
Heard and saw a green woodpecker – added to my 2021
bird list
·
Took the cross beams off the brassica cage, cut
the verticals down shorter, put the cross beams back on, added the rest of the
cross beams
·
Put the mesh over the cage and stapled it
·
I need to go back and do the lifty-uppy-flappy-access
bits but it is a two person job
·
I was going to sow seeds but couldn’t be arsed
·
Garlics are growing well in three beds. More is
more, right?
·
Harvested a plant pot full of sprouts from Momma
P’s plot
·
Almond and quince are coming into bud
·
Flower bed is full of crocus and itsy bitsy teeny
weeny yellow (non polka dot) daffydilly
I was absolutely knackered after the allotment – I am SO
UNFIT. So unfit.
Today I have sorted out cotton and yarn for my next couple
of projets. I am making a rug and a secret something else.
Have had the back doors flung open today
Made a glass of orange juice by squeezing a load of oranges!
The big ones were going soft and squidgy, and the small ones weren’t good for
peeling. So I squeezed ‘em.
It was 33.5° in our kitchen today according to the
thermostat
Exercise today: 2.2miles walking, leg & hip stretches
Dinner today: beige with beans. A freezer dinner.
