2023 - What I did today

I've been away on nights all week so far. I made it home around 1pm today and had a little mooch around the garden. The seedlings I took outside before I left are thriving, so the plan will be to move them into a bit more sun tomorrow and then plant them out towards the end of next week when I have a bit of annual leave. There's also lots coming up in the garden, though a few gaps that hopefully just need a bit more time to get going.

The Hotbin is reading around 30 degrees C. I'm not sure if it's been hotter while I've been away and now chilling down or if it never got up to temperature. It definitely seems too wet though, so I'll add extra paper with the next feeding tomorrow. It should really have been today, but I was too shattered to run around the garden finding stuff to add when I got home.

Something has been going around the garden pulling up all my plant markers. It's very strange as there's not a lot of ground disturbance and just a few chard seedlings that have been strewn around. Most of the plants seem fine, but around two thirds of my big wood markers have been hoiked up. They were in deep enough that I'm sure it's not the wind, and some of them seem to have been partly excavated. Very odd. I will have to sit and watch from inside for a while tomorrow to see if I can spot any misbehaving visitors!

I could do with getting lots done in the garden this weekend, but I've slept from around 3:30 until 7pm today and feel like I'm brewing a cold (lateral flow negative) so we'll see!
