What I actually ended up doing - Today ☀️

 So first of all I wanted to move all the seedlings from my bedroom windowsill into the shed . So to make space , I had to get this hanging basket out and move it into it's place under the kitchen window . 

             I still have a few tomato plants indoors....just incase the worst happens .

I have some fleece to one side should we get cold weather , I also have a foil survival blanket which I pull down that reflects the light from behind them .

Next I shovelled earth into the wheelbarrow to partially fill the potato tubs .

Next the potatoes went on top and then I used some nice compost for the next layer to give them a good start .

 I will just keep earthing them up as they grow . These should be ready to harvest end of May I think .

I do this so my grandchildren can enjoy harvesting the potatoes 🤗🌿

                🌿  So that's the spuds in tubs done ! 🌿

                    And then this happened ......blue sky ! 

I was told to go and put a pretty frock on , we're going to Godolphin Manor .

We love this place ! There is a second hand bookshop in there and a lovely cafe  , loos and ramps for prams and wheelchairs .  I'm not sure if wheelchairs and prams can access all parts of the garden and today we were sorry to see so many fallen trees after the recent storm Goretti . Much of our usual favourite pathways were therefore closed off .

It is a splendid house . We didn't go into the house this time .

   I just love to walk around the beautiful gardens and enjoy seeing it change with the passing seasons .

 Then home ....

 

   .........and straight off up to the shed to check on my seedlings . I hope they'll be o.k. tonight .

I didn't get everything done that I had wanted to do ...never mind .

                  I'm aching from shovelling earth ...tomorrow I'm resting .

                        I hope the sun is shining where you are . ☀️

                                     🤍 Love and Peace 🕊️

                                                    

🪻Lavender 🪻

 I had a lovely surprise this morning , on my way up to the greenhouse and I just happened to have my mobile phone with me .  I'm fairly new to using a mobile phone , so please be kind and forgive the creakiness , heavy breathing and the sound of the gale that is still blowing here right now . 🦌

Always a joy to see .....even though he has eaten my Brussel Sprout plants and chomped two big holes  through the net covering to get to them too !

 Yesterday , we drove over to Godolphin Manor , which is somewhat near Breage . 

The weather is still being very strange , sunshine and extremely windy  .

We just went for a nice walk around the Elizabethan gardens ....

 ......and for a glorious barefoot walk around the soft meadow .

            Feels so nice ......

Around the back there are two medieval fish ponds .

Usually very squadgy  but now dried up and bone dry in the heat wave  . 

I was able to jump in , so to speak and swim over to say hello and have a closer look at the beautiful wicker woven sculpture fish .  

They are wonderful ! 

Had a little tree therapy .....

                                                                     ..........and a little more bare foot earthing .

It was a nice and gentle Sunday  💐☀️😊

🦌 Today , I am back in my gardening clothes .

I decided to take out all the French Beans and the Sweetcorn and replace them with Lavender .

These are the plug plants that I bought some time ago and are now big enough to be planted out .

🪻I just want masses and masses of lovely Lavender and a space in the middle to sit down and enjoy them in all their glory !   🪻🪻🪻

Maybe a space to lie down would be cool !  

I decided to leave the beanpoles up and do beans again next year . Or maybe plant the Passion Flowers in here ....or maybe both !  🪻🪻🌺🪻🌿

Any hoo ...I am glad to have got these into the ground today . I am hoping for a little raincloud to come over and water them in for me , overnight would be good .  Just to settle them in . 🪻🪻🪻 

                                        🪻🪻🪻 PEACE AND LOVE 🪻🪻🪻
