Sunday evening, 23-06-24

Evening, one and all.  It has been a gorgeous day here, so warm and sunny.  I can almost hear the plants cheering in the sunshine.

This evenings photos are the runner beans which are going great guns now and will be climbing round the canes soon . . .

. . . and the little pot of mixed leaves before I thinned them out.  I had the thinnings in my lunchtime salad, feeling very gastro-posh.  They were nice too with some flavour despite their smallness and newness.  It will be so very nice to pick my mixed leaves for my salads soon.

I also got round to planting out some bedding dahlias, a nicotiana something-or-other and some foxgloves that Val gave me.  I know they are invasive and with poisonous seeds but I do like them and never had them when the children were little - and I include Alex in that.  So I have only just got round to it.  I was chatting to Val when we were at the garden centre saying I would like to look for some plants and she said she had loads coming along so she would give me some.  Very kind.

She brought them round on Thursday and now they are in the middle bed and we will see.

I had intended to try and last out without going shopping this week but I just had to as the

 salad and veg stuff was pretty much all used up.  I popped round to Morrisons first thing and now I'm well stocked!

I did the gardening I had planned and I popped over to Beth and Alex with the box of washing/ironing so that's all done.

There's been a bit of toothache today but, actually, not nearly as much as yesterday, so it seems to be easing off.  One good thing - it has stopped me nibbling between meals, even at fruit, in case it starts up again.   Nine days to go before it gets sorted.

Well, that's about it so I will get this posted and then start the evening wind down.  I hope we all have a great night's sleep.  Sweet dreams to you all.  xx
