    Never watch sports.   Never watch Eurovision.  Have had house guests all weekend so no TV at all.    We've had some lovely meals both out and at home, seen some sights, done a bit of walking.  They'll leave tomorrow am and then I can get my tomatoes planted out.

    Happy days.

    Seeds from squished supermarket tomatoes have germinated in a couple of days 
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    These so called 'hero plants' are smothering everything else in the garden, so are certainly not heroes in my book.

    Not hero's in our garden either @KT53. Weeds, wherever they are, get pulled up and disposed off.Not a fan of the untidy look.

    I've been watching fox cubs trashing the far end of my garden. RTBC, I can blame them for the mess.

    Treated myself to a jar of Waitrose rhubarb and raspberry preserve, OH doesn’t like it, so I’d reconciled myself to probably not finishing it before it went out of date. I always mark up bottles and jars with the date of opening, and went to do the same. Absolutely delighted to find no mention of use within 6 weeks of opening, just refrigerate. Very pleased.

    When my mother made her own jam it didn't have a best before date and was just stored on a shelf in the pantry.  We knew it had gone off if it had mould on it.
