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
