Not yet, been to visit mum this morning, she wasn't a happy bunny so it took a large block of choc to cheer myself up. Will be going out in a bit probably to mow the lawns and potter for a bit.
Right now, I could eat all that! Haven't had proper chocolate for 6 weeks and counting.
I've just been pottering and tidying up, I don't know why my courtyard bit always seems to look a mess, there's always empty pots or pots of dead plants that need emptying, various buckets, brooms and rakes lying around. In a while I'm going down to the school garden I look after as I've some spare plants that can go in there from a recent plant swap at our local garden club - a tree peony and an epimedium of some sort.
I haven't been able to eat chocolate for years due to allergy problems - I do miss it terribly.
We managed to plant some nasturtiums on our bank, the grass wouldn't grow as the soil is so poor, so let's hope these plants do. Watered them in well, and gave a feed of bfbone. Also planted an old Scabious Butterfly Blue in the wild flower patch. Liked by bees but are they native I wonder?
Pulled out around 100 wallflowers way past their best, chopped them up for the compost bin. Fed clematis and watered everything in pots. Did have more stuff to do but feeling a bit cream crackered so will write a list and look at it instead.
Mowed lawn and edged. Planted some Begonias and did quite a bit of weeding. Will be out again later to water the pots. On Nanna Duty for the next 3 days so no gardening for me.
Allotment early this morning to open up tunnel before it got to warm, had to be home as nurses coming to wife today. Did get back later this afternoon put on the sprinkler for an hour so all the outside veg got a good watering, watered and fed plants in tunnel. Added a few bags of rabbit bedding / wood shavings to compost bin (comes from local rabbit farm) makes good compost. Put everything to bed and closed up tunnel. 🐖
