RE: 2021 - What I did today - PyreneesPlot - 19-07-2021
Cut the grass, watered the leeks and mulched with clippings. Picked flowers, mostly lilies. Cleared blighty leaves from the tomatoes.
Three loads of gîte laundry.
Motorcycle ride up the Col de Menté, a zillion hairpins up and down the other side, very challenging!
Watering this evening, due to be warmer tomorrow.

Daily task is now stripping the leaves from the blighty tomatoes, we may get nothing on the majority of plants this year.
Fed and mulched tomatoes, peppers, aubergines and chillies.
Watering, dead heading, pottering, but mostly digging foundations - what else would you do in this heat?! Took a load of clay suboil to the tip.
Oh, and still doing lots and lots of gîte laundry after changing over the other one.

Watering tunnels & cuttings. Harvesting. Attacked a metal bench with a wire brush. Went fishing. Very successful & saw porpoises

Watering, feeding chillies. Collected seeds. Working out the next build shopping list.
RE: 2021 - What I did today - Veggie - 26-07-2021
Watered the GHs, mowed some of the grass (not my job usually so I needed tuition), dug up some comfrey roots and swapped them for plants - scabious, kaffir lilies and a blue geranium and 3 packets of flower seeds.
RE: 2021 - What I did today - JJB - 27-07-2021
I harvested chillies for the freezer, shredded weeping willow prunings and bagged them up for mulching. Picked and gathered. Isn't always the way the picking and gathering takes so much longer than you think it will.
