I've been digging in some more dahlias and also planting up any spare annual that I come across in my "Chuck everything in it" border. The much needed rain has softened the ground enough for me to dig some holes.

Adorable sidekick, Scarlet.  How do you prepare the turnips that your OH loves?  Never grown them, never eaten them either!

Spent the afternoon creating a dust storm around my kitchen extension by using an angle grinder fitted with a mortar cutter on the brick work. Cry  Main shell of building is from the forties and it desperately needs re-pointing.

Straight into shower after as I was using it with my shorts and slippers on.(Slippers are ruined!) Rolleyes

Tomorrow is supposed to be fine weather so hopefully I'll be able to make a start on the actual brick pointing Cool

I cook them simply - just roasted with the other roast veg with traditional Sunday lunch, mashed with spuds or fancy in dauphinois ( again half and half with spuds)

Weeded the herb bed - so much creeping cinquefoil, bramble & bindweed despite digging the whole bed over several times before putting in a single plant. After unwinding the bindweed I found that the Sichuan peppercorn has fruit for the first time Smile

Cut the grass, put farmyard manure on the potatoes and peas in the garden, weeded in around the peas. Fed my chillies and tomatoes and cucumbers. Brought a lad of weeds and stones to the bog.
Coffee keeps me busy until it’s acceptable to drink whiskey.

A sense of achievement today, managed to cross off a few things on my jobs for the week list.  Planted out the last of the outdoor tomatoes. The veg patches are now officially full, that is until the broad beans finish, get removed and I can fill the space with something.

I started off slow today. It's been a hell-ish couple of weeks at work and I stayed in bed for as long as I could.

As it was Swedish midsummer yesterday, I had a breakfast of poached eggs, pickled herring, prawns, cucumber and toast.

Then I was unstoppable - I filled the raised beds in the greenhouse and potted up all the tomatoes I could fit in. About time too.

I found the pots with dahlias from last year that I thought had died... they've actually started growing! Yippee! I love dahlias but never managed to overwinter them before Smile

I've ran out of compost, so that stopped play. I will go find more tomorrow, so I can finish off the tomatoes Smile

I planted up some oxalis too that are destined for my bedroom Smile
