Enjoying the Sun ☀️

 

                                       This morning's beautiful Sunrise .

The meadow is starting to surge away and from now until it is cut and baled , the rule is no romping dogs ( or people 🤣) allowed .

We want the hay to be as clean and sweet as possible .

We cut the wibbly wobbly path so that we can walk out and look at a couple of wild Orchids growing there .  They are not rare ones , but beautiful all the same .  It is also so nice to go and lie down in the long grass in middle of the meadow in high summer and watch the Swallows swooping overhead .

We spotted our first Swallow here yesterday .

The Sand Martins arrived down at Poldhu earlier this week , they nest in the sandy banks before the cliffs .

I am busy reorganising the plants in the greenhouse . I have to make room for the cucumber vines .

Tomatoes are doing well . 

My daughter who had said that she didn't want any Tomato plants , changed her mind and now I have to try and separate some from this pot of spares . Fiddly ! 

I separated out four and have planted them deeply into pots of fresh compost and perlite .

They will put out roots from the stems and should make good strong plants .

These are Tomato "Roma" they are a very strong growing variety . Lovely plum shaped tomatoes .

  We grow our Tomatoes in the greenhouse . I have never had much success growing tomatoes outside .

I began clearing the African Keyhole bed of weeds , but my ankle trouble flared up again . So I have only done about one third of it . I have covered it over with cardboard for the time being and will come back to it when I can .  Bindweed and Hairy Bittercress  ..... and one or two huge thistles . 

  For some reason I forgot to cover this bed  over Winter . I think I was focusing more on a couple of the other beds.

  I have to get this bed sorted soon  . This is where I grow my Butternut Squash and Pumpkins . 

                Anyway, it is what it is !   

I'll begin sowing my Butternuts ,Courgettes ,Climbing French Beans , Sweetcorn next week .

        Resting up for a bit now . Hope you are enjoying the glorious Sunshine !
