I really got a move on this morning ... before 9am I had bread dough rising and some Scotch Eggs made and waiting to egg and breadcrumb later ... they'll go into the oven when the bread comes out.
Tomatoes have been picked, and some pruning of the squash plants attempted ... it's a jungle out there 🤣
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Hi folks, despite deciding to have a quiet day I have managed to get quite a bit done. Veg and pots fed and the last of the beetroot on to boil. I've washed the covers on the sofa and did some repairs to the dining chairs ready for them to be painted. This morning I went for a back massage and now I'm having a cuppa watching the Olympics.
Yesterday I saw that the crocosmia next to the drive was about to flower and thought we might get a display this year as I haven't seen the deer for a while. Today the flower heads have all been nipped off. So have the agapanthus which has never been touched by the roe deer before so it must have been the muntjac
Volunteer day at Capel, it's 3 weeks since I was there last what a difference. More evidence of climate change a Japanese magnolia that flowered in January, is trying to flower again.
Got through another potting on session in the blustery drizzle. Don't think there is anything left poking out of the bottom of a pot now
Quite a few half-eaten strawberries are in evidence. The squirrel/rat is definitely getting 5-a-day . Also noticed that a couple of blueberries that were nearly ripe have gone. Looks like the birds are now able to breach the defences. Time to call for reinforcements!

No Olympics viewing here, but watched the Lovely George Clarke programme about a fabulous conversion of an old coach house.
