Thanks for starting Caroline
How lovely to be able to grow so many veg, mmm broad beans, one of my favourites, haven't had them for a while. Great that your grandchildren are so absorbed in the jigsaw, I bet their mum is thanking you and OH!
Mowsehowse, or should I call you the animal rescuer? And potential old lady rescuer!
A shame about the weather but good that you can get out for a walk. Your garden party sounds great.
Diary:
A cloudy day but no rain, warmer than Wednesday. Was up a bit earlier, was going to go for my walk earlier but spotted the window cleaner across the road, knew he'd be coming to me soon so decided to wait. Opened up so he could get through to the back, last time I'd asked him to just do the front as there were too many obstacles on the way through to the back! Moved all my new plants off the patio and onto the lawn so they weren't in his way.
Meanwhile I made some alterations to my supermarket order for Saturday, didn't want to end up with just a load of booze that I'd secured the order with! Transferred the payment for the window cleaner, some Rootschatting, did a few minor things around the house then it was time for lunch.
After lunch went out to do the planting, would leave my walk till later. Put plants in the beds in the front garden and planted a container. Had to fill it with compost in situ as the big containers get too heavy to lug through from the back. Was feeling anxious in case NNN or her daughter appeared, a bit ridiculous when I can't feel relaxed in my own garden. Finished there and into the back garden, more relaxed. Moved some stuff around and planted some containers then it started to rain a bit. It didn't last so went for my walk, pleasantly peaceful.
Came home, noticed a friend had left a message so rang her back then out in the garden again to tidy up. More planting to do when I've decided where it should go. Tea and TV, watched the Sewing Bee. Didn't spot the programmes mentioned, I used to buy a Saturday paper as I like the TV guide but I don't get that now so not always aware of programmes. A friend told me about a couple the other day that I can catch up with too.
Have a good day folks!
