I was so tired yesterday evening, I gave in and went to bed at eight thirty and I don't even remember waiting to fall asleep! I woke at five (with just the usual loo breaks) so that's over eight hours of good sleep. I feel so much better this morning!
It's looking promising out there and, indeed, the forecast looks great for the rest of the week and the weekend too. Woo hoo!
I had a good journey home from Dad's. It was raining and there was a lot of surface water, not to mention quite a lot of heavy lorries and farm vehicles making local journeys, so it took a bit longer than expected, but it was fine.
When I arrived home, the first thing I did after bringing in the cases was look at the garden and looky look!
There are three more mini cucumbers nearly ready and several more tomatoes are ripening. They are on their way now!
The rest of the day was spent sorting things out, planning for today's tuition, catching up on some telly and so on. Nice, normal, homey stuff.
Today is a little busier.
First of all, there's a bit of tuition, then Christine is coming round (weather permitting) for a chat and then I'm off to Beth's for an hour to take something round and have another chat. Maybe, later on, I'll take a trip to the allotment to see how things are going there. It won't need watering, that's for sure, but there might be a few courgettes!
I do have some washing but I think I'll leave it for a few days as it's not quite enough for two loads (I do do darks and lights separately). Thursday looks a pretty empty day so I guess I'll do it then.
It should be a good day and I hope yours is too. Stay safe. xx
Good idea to defer the washing I have a load done and waiting to go out today as yesterday was too wet.
ReplyDeleteYesterday really wasn't pleasant, was it? It should dry nicely today though.

I'm liking the look of the weather forecast for the week - although more grass cutting will be needed after rain and sun.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day
It certainly will. Everything should be dry by Thursday so I'm pencilling that in the diary - mower to allotment.

Our tomatoes and cucumbers aren't ready yet, will be another week or two for us. Lots of sunshine but very windy for us today. Xx
ReplyDeleteThe tomatoes are dribs and drabs at the moment but plenty are changing colour now so I give them a week.
DeleteWon't it be lovely?

Glad you've caught up on your sleep. You have a lovely day planned with Beth and Christine, so hope the weather plays nicely for that. Enjoy your treasures from the garden xx
ReplyDeleteIt was a really good day, thanks, Eileen.

Lovely to have your own tomatoes, ours are just yellowing so hope to have some soon.. and how nice to be able to visit your dad..I have the odd night when I can't get to sleep but have a nanny nap in the afternoon the next day.
ReplyDeleteOnce they get the idea, it doesn't take long before you almost have too many (if that's actually a thing). Give them a week or so . . .

Hi Joy, I am so impressed with your vegetable garden. Everything looks just delicious. I went to be at 8:30 last night, too. Got up at 3:30 a.m. to drive in the cool morning air...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I call early!!! Mind you, understandable with the heat you are getting. xx
DeleteI hope the weather improves as the week continues. It's been wet and gloomy here so far. X
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. I don't know where you live but I gather the forecast is pretty good in most places.

How lovely you are getting tomatoes. Ours will be awhile yet.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I'm so happy about it. Things are really coming along now. Fantastic!
DeleteYours will ripen in their own time. Have you tried popping a ripe tomato under the plants?
