This was our veg plot last night before we had our evening meal. Above - these plant pots are covering the first earlies, which are flowering at the moment. Greek Gigantes beans wrapped in bin bags behind them.
Peas, runner beans and at the back, the Kestrel spuds.
Tubs of dwarf French beans and Shiraz Mangetout covered over well too - the "hay" in the top of the bean tub was grass I had removed from the bed behind. It served its purpose well.
These are the first earlies, well earthed up. They should be ready to dig up soon as they have spuds growing well (we only found this out when earthing up the end one).
Keith's current project - bits of wood from the Useful Bits of Wood heap being glued together to make a bookshelf for Gabby, as she said she was running out of room. It doesn't match the one she has already, but needs must.
One of my in-house projects- a quilt which will go to a charity helping girls leaving care homes with nothing. It was a bit boring and bland in parts so I have been taking out the blandest blocks and replacing them with ones like the black and pink one.
Here's Maggie's stable door which we mended and I repainted last week.
Tea on Monday night - a Lancashire hotpot with a difference, as the base of mince and veg has lots of oomph from Henderson's relish and the like. Very tasty. Down to Tam, that one.
Photo of the inside of the Cart Shed now it's been tidied up and is currently Keith's 2nd workshop, as the Robin is feeding babies in the workshop that was Fahly's stable.
Above and below - I have never had BLUE double Aquilegias before. I shall certainly tie blue wool round these and save seed. I always call these "ra-ra skirts"!
Last night's tea (down to Tam again) - a pan-fried Fahita-Burrito hybrid and very tasty.
Right, this won't do. I have cakes to bake (one as a gift for the 11 very well grown tomato plants we were given the other day.)
