6.05 am Sunrise this morning and I just knew it was going to be a fiercely hot day .
I did another good clear out of any yellowing leaves on the tomato plants .
I picked another good bowlful and I can see a few more blushing up ....I'll let these swell a bit more .
I took these to finish off on the kitchen windowsill .
Some hiding under the bench .
But it's getting to the stage where I hang them up in odd places to finish ripening .
The last couple of nights have been cool . The Swallows have been gathering on the telegraph wires .
I got to work on pruning and smartening up the Chamaerops humilis in the vegetable garden .
There we go ! Much better ! Just need to sharpen up the edges , give it some chicken pellets and a nice thick mulch of wood chips .
At some stage I may remove one or two of the lower shoots . . . .think I'll let them get a bit bigger before I decide .
I have another Chamaerops humilis in the ornamental garden , I may do that one tomorrow . It is too hot for me to complete this today .
💐Sunday Flower Power 💐 With lovely Rosie Red Crab Apples 💐
💐Now looking lovely on the table !💐
Other exciting news ........
My Turmeric tuber ! After almost a whole year , has put up a shoot ! 🌿😃
Anyone else would have given up .....
Tomorrow ...I will begin smartening up the other Chamaerops humilis .
After a month of doing the dishes / washing up with my bare hands and of forgetting to buy rubber gloves while doing our main big shop , we finally made a special visit to our local Co-Op store to get them and guess what ? ....the space where they should've been on the shelf ...was empty !
"Don't worry " the shop assistant said " I'll just take a photo with my mobile phone and we'll see if we have some out the back !"
There were none out the back . 🙄
Am I the last woman to do the washing up in the sink ?
Finally bought them in B&Q !
I'm such a lucky girl !
I hope you have made magic happen and had a great weekend .
Love and hugs Debbie x
No you are not the only person hand washing pots we do in our house and my daughter does it her home as well. My biggest struggle is to find any large enough .

💐Hi Jane ! Yes I agree . 🫧I don't mind doing the washing up 🫧It's quite relaxing , put on some nice music , dance and watch the wild birds and the squirrel on on bird feeding station , but I do prefer to wear rubber gloves ! 🤗🫧🫧 Strange really, as in the garden I prefer not to wear gloves unless I'm pulling up stinging nettles or prickly thistles . I love the feel and the fragrance of the earth . 🌿🐌🐸
DeleteThings are starting to feel almost autumnal
ReplyDeleteYes Sue , my Tomatoes are nearly finished . 🍅🌿If I had topped up the bags with more compost , maybe I could have kept them going for a little bit longer ,🌶️🫑🍅🫛 but anyway we got a good pile of toms , french beans and sweet peppers now in the freezer , so I'm very thankful and quite content really . I also want to get the cacti all back into the greenhouse and ready for winter .
