🌿Bringing back the love 🪷🌿

  

                           🌿   I have arrived , I am home . 🌿 

          I gently carried Lord Buddha back to his place in my greenhouse .

                                    It was a beautiful sunrise .

I have been slowly pottering about , determined to get my seedlings potted on . How one week can make such a difference ! 

I normally prick out my seedlings at the cotyledon or the first not true leaf stage , just as they first germinate . This way helps stop the roots from getting tangled and damaged as I separate them . 

So ,a week on and the first true leaf has appeared and they are getting leggy  .  It's o.k . I will do my best to save them and they will probably be o.k. . 

I could probably sow some more cucumber seeds at this stage , it's not too late . 

These Alicante Tomato seedlings were a second sowing after I muddled up the first lot .They'll soon catch up .

Passiflora seedlings each popped into their own pot of fresh compost . Should quickly give them a boost . 

So good to get my hands into the earth .

I have many trowels / hand spades lying around here are there .

I mostly use my bare hands for potting up sessions .

The hori-hori has become a trendy thing .....but for me ...not so useful ...I still prefer the good old fashioned trowel or hand spade ......or my bare hands .

It is very sharp .......another reason why I'm not so keen on them . It does have a safety cover .

However , today while up in the shed , it did come in useful for sharpening my plant labelling pencil !

Just as we are using up our leeks which have stood this horrible wet and windy weather , so it is time to be sowing next Winter's larder . Always overjoyed to see the leek babies hatching .So much easier than onions in my opinion . Those are Poppies coming up next to them ,can't wait to see their flowers .

                     Now all in the unheated greenhouse  . 

 

Tonight I'll fix up the roof insulation stuff along the rafters and cover everything over with fleece and newspaper sheets . 

I'm feeling like I 've caught up again ...hopefully . 🙏🏻🌱🌱🌱🌿

Weather update - Sunshine by day ☀️ - blinking cold by night  🌑 new moon 

Also will light my candle lantern .

This morning I had my little incense burner going on top of it . 

 The greenhouse is beginning to become my happy place again .

Now I'm going to put my feet up again for the rest of the day !
