The sun is trying to come out ⛅

 


    This morning's sunrise ..not so spectacular ...but the garden needs the rain ....

......and the ground is nice and soft for getting the French Bean frame up and tidy up this bed .

 Running around getting Spring jobs done as best I as I can with sore Achilles ! Ultra sound scan will be in early June , long wait , meanwhile take paracetamol every four hours  . Rise above it and keep hobbling .

              Sort out seeds with a nice cuppatea , then off to the shed .

Sow Climbing French beans Slenderette and Cobra .  What's in the box Debbie  ?

                                                             New toys !

I'll tell you about the goggles another time . I want to show off this bit of kit ! 

            This will come in very useful for dinosaur hunting trips .


                   Pulling ammonites out of icky sticky muddy shale  ...brilliant !

 The really useful bit for picking fossils out of the mud and it all folds neatly and safely away .

                         (£11.00 really good value )   Nice one Mil-Tech ! Useful ! 

And slides nicely onto your belt  .  That's the only problem really for me .....I don't tend to wear belts .

I will fix it onto my bag somehow . Anyway, I will probably just carry it in my hand . 

 I couldn't get the handle to unscrew , but fortunately there is a hole for the handle to go through .

No ,we don't tend to use geological hammers or chisels , they are heavy to carry . This thing is strong but quite light . The only heavy things I want to carry home with me are my fossils .

                             In the garden , I think you can't beat these simple old tools . 


                             ๐ŸŒฟ That's the Climbing French beans done .๐ŸŒฟ

                                                Time to uncover the Sweet Peas .


 Acers putting on a brilliant show right now . This one is Acer "Bloodgood " Breaking all the rules and facing South , this one can take more sunshine than other Acers .

P.S.

I did get the other Bean Frame up .....in case you were wondering  . I did it quite early in the morning and then forgot to mention it here until this evening .


I just need to make some minor adjustments and tie in the canes .


I raked the mulch over to one side which will help to hold in moisture for my Celery .


๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ I just need to make it more balanced and tie in the canes .  ๐ŸŒฟ๐ŸŒฟ

 Next post - tidying the Fern Garden .

  1. Most of my tools belonged to my mum, just a new handle here and there.
