I went out into the garden planning to do an hour or so again. A hollyhock has appeared in the bed where I feed the birds, only one flower open at the moment but so pleased to see it!
The Michaelmas daisies are flowering. I went to St Michael’s primary school and we used to wear them on out lapels when we walked to the church on St Michael’s day.
In the front garden we have WHF I call ice plants, they have been green but are now beginning to turn pink!
I decided to try and clear the weeds next to the summer house again, I pulled as many as I could and then tried to hoe deeply under the rest.
I picked a few tomatoes to finish off ripening indoors, they look good.
I caught the bus up to Freeport this afternoon, got some bits at the around Stretcher and had a panini and cuppa in the coffee shop, they were doing the half price thing, so very reasonable.
This evening I went round to see Sarah and David and we watched a film, Driving Lessons, it was funny and enjoyable. Have been out to put food down for the foxes since I came home.
I can see why you wanted that picture to show up first, the flowers are gorgeous. Hope they last for quite a while. You have some nice flowers and plants in the garden too, shame the weeds have to rear their ugly heads. But it looks a lot better now you have weeded that bed. If you’re not getting any rain then hopefully they’ll stay away for a while. Tomatoes for tea tomorrow then by the looks of it. Have you got any other veg growing? Yes I know tomatoes aren’t vegetables 😊
ReplyDeleteGlad you got out for a while this afternoon, does that mean the legs are a little bit better than they were?
I hit the painkillers today, but I didn’t do that much walking as I went on the bus both ways to Freeport.
ReplyDeleteI have some curly kale in a planter, but nothing else. May try and grow a bit more next year.
We have had some rain today, but not the heavy stuff some have had.
