the test radishes are up and looking keen to grow
therefore i have 100 lt of multi purpose for sterile, sort of, planting into containers
if available a couple of big boy toms are planned
without a tall boy dog and with the use of shiny i have a lot more growing space options
the two sheds might go and be replaced with one small one, or they may be mended and adapted
is that a flying pig i spy?
nice idea, but a worm can factory of to do that we need to do this, if we remove the big shed we need to deal with the rear wall/door to get the new small shed in the best place
the wall is stable and within tolerances, sort of, there is no way to adapt it without cleaning the bricks and laying a new footing thanks to somebody else's drain menders 25 yrs ago
throw the spoil in the trench is not proper
gravel and concrete for the pipe and then the road bed and block laying, backfill in an alleyway is not rocket engineering
re taking it slowly, some things are off my to-do list, see wall etc*, and the little stuff needs thought and timing to do it
*or with a game plan and a couple of adaptable workers it might be a few grand |

The fruit bushes and trees are flowering, the perennial kale is once again expanding to take over the street, the perennial leeks...well, of the three that appeared in autumn, they mostly look like grass.
I've cobbled together a mini greenhouse and sown some seeds - tomato, pepper, runner beans, yard long beans, and another round of squash seeds. None of the same batch of squash seeds have germinated after a couple of early attempts. Fir apple spuds are peeking through.
Next door house has sold, they are renovating inside quite extensively. They seem nice, we have agreed to replace the dividing fence (as it slowly lurches towards the ground ) and I said if they ever decided they wanted rid of the fruit trees there, please let me know... |

slow gardening here as well, i have managed to "hermit crab" 4 of the perennial herbs into bigger sizes over six weeks, only a couple more to go
im not sure what to do with the straggly "night lavender", rather fun, it does not smell much during the day but at night it is fragrant and popular with moths when in flower
never met it before, not sure what strain it is, it did well from nursery to first upsized pot on a medium window sill first year but looks a bit shabby after winter
the english lavender looks great in its "new "shell, that version is an old pal that has been in the family for several generations, cloning is great with some plants
im toying with taking cuttings off the night one and see if a trim refreshes the mother and if they strike
gardening has become "light duties as capable" which aint much, hey ho
ps capable got typed as capapable, im turning into trump |
