If they ever get planted out it will give me a reason to live a long time to watch them growing up.

Planted out another half dozen toms, picked 3 punnets of strawberries, more bedding out. I have a couple of pals coming over for an afternoon coffee tomorrow so Paul cut the grass and hedges for our 'garden party'. Told friends they have to wear floaty flowery dresses and wide brimmed floppy hats
Not going to happen! I'm waiting on the rude remarks in reply.

Earthed up spuds. I think next week will be the last time for that job.
Fed chillies, tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, tromboncino, strawberries, aubergines, asparagus & DFB.
Sterilised bottles ready for champagne ( tomorrow’s job ).

Potted on comfrey roots kindly sent by TMT
5 bags of grass clippings wheelbarrowed to the plot
Walked down the canal for a couple of bits from Iceland (Latest pic of the swan family added to wildlife post)
Tomorrow expecting our first delivery from Sainsburys since lockdown, the hatches are definitely lifting!

As well as stuff mentioned in earlier post I cut the lawns. Two large bags of grass cuttings for allotment.
My dog was watching me lovingly out the French windows as I was cutting the grass and almost begging me for another walk.(He had already had two today)
Just got back from a 1 1/2 hour walk with him 'Round the Alice' This is a well known local walk but I have no idea where it got its name from?
Looking forward to some mussels I got from Aldi for supper.

Actually got round to thinning the chard, and rummaging around in the beetroot rows for baby ones, kidding myself I was thinning when actually I was scrumping. Do you all thin out religiously? I hate doing it, I think of all those baby plants cut off before their prime (never mind the logic of thinning out stuff). I should sow thinly, but then I sprinkle a few more seeds just in case germination is poor. There is no hope for me

In the kitchen all day turning stuff I’ve grown into stuff that will keep a little longer.
