21-06-25

Morning, all, and welcome to another Saturday, lovely, sunny and fresh right now and the pollen seems lower - at least, I've been out watering, tying up, etc, and haven't sneezed once.  It won't last but I'm loving it while it's here.

It looks like they have decided to stay - this was taken yesterday and I swear they are at least an inch taller today, happily winding around the canes.
I'm definitely not trying seeds again.  Sorry, real gardeners, but buying babies in the amount I need is much more economical and less stressful!

And looky-look!  Tomorrow, do you think?

Question:  eat or freeze?
Answer:  What a very silly question!!  😁

I love this time when everything is growing but still looks 'tidy'.
Even my ornamental grass is just starting to send up its flowers - not that they look like flowers but you know what I mean.

Yesterday was, as almost always, a lovely day.

It was nice and cool when I walked to SW, the hall wasn't hot (it can be awful!) and the walk home was OK too.  I made a 100% rye sourdough loaf - solid, of course, as rye bread is, but it looked and smelled lovely.  It's in the freezer now, out of temptation's way!

I also soaked and then slow cooked some chick peas - they are also now in the freezer apart from one portion that I'm going to make crunchy chickpeas with, for Beth.

There's nothing in the diary today although I will probably join Lindsey's 9:15 SET class online.  Then I can tick today's exercise target off.
I need to do some freezer sorting, I have a drawer to tidy and I want to make some seeded crackers, also for Beth (and Alex, if he likes them).
I have Beth and co over for lunch tomorrow so I want to give downstairs a bit of a clean up

Then I can chill.  Nice!!
Stay cool, everyone . . . have a wonderful Saturday.  xx

    I'm with you on buying plants. They seem to come along faster and produce more crop. Lovely blueberries!

      Thanks, Chris. I have found that too but my Dad used to grow from seed. Mind you, he had a greenhouse. Maybe that makes the difference. xx

    We always purchase starter plants other than the ones our son starts from seed for us. So those could be considered starters as well. Our garden is not as far ahead as yours, but we are still hoping for a good harvest eventually.

    God bless.

      I could pretend I was making a deep social comment but that would be a fib. However, sadly, you are right. Around the world, things are looking so hopeless at the moment. It's tragic. xx

    I completely agree. Sometime buying small plants just makes sense. It's the only way I've managed to grow strawberries this year :)
