Meanwhile in the Shed and other things 🌿☀️

 

                  I have just sown three varieties of kale . 

 There is no room to sow direct at the moment , I'll plant these out when there is space , probably after I've harvested the onions .

They should germinate very quickly . I have actually taken off that propagator lid now as it is going to be a very hot weekend . I 'll keep a close eye on them and get them pricked out as soon as they hatch !

I am so glad I picked that little bunch of flowers from the meadow , because our friend came to start the cutting and baling ... I didn't know he'd been ! How did I not hear his tractor ? !   

I usually like to take some pictures of all the wild flowers before he cuts it .

Lots of things been going on this week .

I've been doing my family history again and sent off my DNA sample yesterday . Should be interesting . Takes two or three weeks for the results . 

Sauromatum venosum - last weeks flower has withered away and it's put up another shoot ! " Curioser and curioser ! " said Alice . 🤔

Which reminds me ....my daughter said I could come and dig out all of her voodoo lilies ....she loves them but unfortunately her dog is obsessed with them and tries to eat them ! 

I would like to put these into another area of the garden . They are amazing and fascinating plants .

Took them home and planted them up temporarily in pots until I decide where to plant them .

Lots of lovely corms !

I had to do this as quickly as I could because they were fast wilting in the heat .

They really did not like being transplanted and are wilting ...but I will plant out their corms and they will come up and be fantastic again next year .

Yesterday late afternoon and after the trees cast some shade , I did a bit more weeding .

I planted some of the Aloe striatula cuttings that had come from the very straggly plant in the main ornamental garden .

This is actually to one side of my vegetable garden . 

There are a couple of my old faithful friends buried here  . Those are my old doggy walking boots. Walked miles in them .....

It's o.k...... I'm o.k. ....  happy memories .....

Looks nice again now , happy me  .

It's going to be hot this weekend . Take care and keep in the shade . ..but make it a great weekend !
