Amorphophallus atroviridis - update

 Checking on my brassica seedlings in the shed , all is well ....I noticed the Amorphophallus atroviridis shoot has grown a couple of millimetres .  Goodness me it's slow !  

        Not only that , but I think I can see another tiny shoot next to it !  🤩

         I'm really excited , as it is supposed to have really pretty leaves .

Nothing else to report today really . It's a tad cooler , still uncomfortable for me , but we're happy for everyone having some nice weather on their school summer holibobs .

 Lots of happy families down on the beach .  ☀️🏖️🐬

I'm busy slicing , freezing and bagging up our home grown vegetables .

We've been out and about quite a bit this week , so I have just been grabbing a few moments , whenever we stop , to do my embroidery .

                             Hope you're having a great weekend ! 

                                                🌿☀️🌿

Still No Rain ☀️

 

      Today's little harvest......

                         Another good bowl full of peas and beans .

                       A couple of courgettes and a few kale leaves for lunch .

The tomatoes today are strangely huge  🤔 Scatolone 2 I hadn't expected them to be so big !   There is some inconsistency in the shape . This one is round ......

                         ................others are pear shaped  .

Sweet Pepper Snack Bite Red  have all come at once . I have taken them all off and they will be sliced and put into the freezer . Not sure if the plants will produce any more now ....have to give them a good feed and wait and see !

Most places around Cornwall had a small amount of rain yesterday .....but not us on the Lizard !

It was misty over-night , the ground damp first thing in the morning ..... bone dry again very soon after the sun came up .

                                   The heat is very tiring .  

                                                 🌿☀️🌿

Just another lovely day ! ☀️

 

Another lovely sunny morning . Just a touch of mist across the meadow  .

Checking on and watering Pak choi, beetroot , red and green cabbage seedlings in the shed .

Early morning watering the vegetable garden and then check everything is o.k. in the greenhouse .

  

                       Telling the Butternuts to get a move on !

 A lazy day I think today ..hang some washing on the line.....take time to watch the bees ..... sit in the summer house and do some embroidery ... or a bit of patchwork .

      It's our wedding anniversary today .....on this day we usually share steaming hot and greasy fish'n'chips from the chippy and enjoy them sitting in the car , up on the cliffs looking out to sea . 

         (note to self - remember to take bottle of ketchup and serviettes ! )

                     Have a lovely day, take care in the hot sun ☀️

                                           Peace and Love 🕊️
