Some where, round about

September round up here, so i can look back and objectively see what has been going on. Because if I rely on my memory.......! Today we are still in September but  the Very Last of our courgette plants were pulled up. And what have I learned? Why, to germinate earlier and that any gifted Must be sheltered in this garden!  Will we grow again? For sure.   Well this was interesting!  Corn  grown in buckets plus very late to germinate and plant out but in spite of everything I have got to see how these plants grow! That's a very immature husk of corn right there and there are others as well. So, although i won't be getting  proper ears of corn to eat.....i might very well have enough corn silk to make a tincture. Kale and goodness me doesn't it just keep going!  We WILL be growing these next year, they Do require more direct light in the early stages than these darlings had and I think this is Not the correct place for them. But overall? Overall massi...

Officially I am a techno phobe Is that the correct word? I m no good at tech anyway! Goodness Penninegilly finds me on Instagram, should this blog go the way of many others. So. May time and gracious everything has ramped up a gear! The garden has exploded into colour and creaking life, stems shooting heavenward and leaves waving towards the sun. Winds whistle round the garden  and the sun shines in odd places. But enough odd places for everything to be perfectly pleasant for most of the time. I m not out and about, dodgy lungs have put paid to That. So I am at perfect liberty to spend all of my days outside. And that is exactly what I am doing! When all this is either over or we have moved in an otherwise improbable manner into a more sociable situation,  I shall Miss this time. So for now For me I am making the very most of it And one day I might work out how this place works, coz blowed if I can work out how to upload images an...

Well, going from having kids around the place , to having No kids around the place ....although technically  they were adults, but hey......was a big change. But we always had the pets. One move Then we didn't have a cat Second move Then we didn't have the dog Mercifully both pets Really got to enjoy their last homes though. So now I have plants instead, coz right now neither of us can contemplate another pet. Apart from this bloomin thing afflicting the world ..... life is chugging on.  Mostly blue skies.  Glorious home n garden. Birds going crazy outside. No one going crazy inside. Lots of interesting cooking n baking. Greenhouse. Sheds. Stuff to do, (lots of stuff to do, let's not go there!). Getting to grips with fruit n veg delivery. So, what do I actually miss with all this social distancing? Casual conversations.  Intentional catch ups. Spending time with family n friends. Church services, mostly because the people there a...
