Pdoc, marinade in lime juice, splash of olive oil & chilli flakes. Maybe bake in oven and have with couscous ( baked spud, whilst oven on ? ) & salad.
MrsGarden I had a breadmaker, one of those must have things, but always ended up with holes in bottom of loaves where gadget thing was. I gave it to a friend whose OH needed wheat free bread.
As well as above I have pricked out 2 dozen more aquilegias (pink pom pom),sown 4 more trays of seeds, washed sheets and remade bed, washed towels(last lot in dryer now)... and fed the ducks again.
After a morning in the garden, went to gc, got 2 saxifrage, a large pot of ipheion alberto castillo, (really pretty) hollyhocks, white campanula, white japanese anemone and a Mrs Bradshaw.
Hope your backs better Kef and Dove is your ear ok now?
Yes thank Lily - seems ok now - took last antibiotics yesterday so hopefully that's it.
Bedlinen changed, three loads of washing dried, folded and being aired, bedroom dusted and polished and bookshelves tidied, bread baked, kettle descaled, banking done, jacket potatoes in the oven and feet up
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Verdun - you mentioned about covering peach tree. Ours is flowering too- has been sprayed- when does it need to be covered? Ours was wrecked by peach leaf curl last year.
Looks like I'm going to be growing 'edibles' this year! One of our visitors on Sunday is bringing me a hanging basket of tomatoes - hmmm, I don't do edibles OR hanging baskets, hate the thick rubbery skin of home grown tomatoes...need another few years before I progress to these skills! Veg patch is 'ready' as well - just still thinking what to grow ; carrots and rocket or some lovely flowers! (Not rocket (ha ha) science which I'd choose). I know people say once you are a gardener you must be finally 'grown up'(they mean old!) but I think that only happens when you grow veg. Oh so sorry, I couldn't stop typing and I've probably offended most of you now. In my defence- I have a strange outlook on many things in life, grovel, grovel, sorry, sorry. Hope I'm not taking PDs place in the dog house.
MrsG - Don't be put off by previous rubbery tomatoes. Perhaps it was simply the variety you tried, or adverse weather had affected them. Someone I know asked me what her husband should grow because he'd got a little growhouse as a present. I just said - don't grow stuff you don't like. That's the best starting point. I only grow herbs, lettuce, rocket and a few toms. I got some strawberries last autumn too. I don't have the time, space or inclination to grow lots of other stuff. Never feel you're not a gardener if you don't grow your own veg. Do what suits you and your lifestyle.
I don't do hanging baskets either
Got some paint mixed and some onto the fence. Much better colour now. Hate to think how many coats it's had to cover up the Dale Winton tangerine underneath
Bought trellis to go on it, so I need to get that painted and attached before the climbers get too big.
Roast dinner made and consumed. Daughter made Yorkshires. Very nice they were too. Cup of tea now I think.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

How can you tell I'm not in the garden?

Time for relaxation now.... work tomorrow
Very chilly here now, well it is only march.

I know its only March, but my raspberries seem to think its May..... they're starting to flower
Still, I love raspberries.... by the bowlful with cream.
Thanks Chicky - much better today
Fidget- goodness - flowers already- thought mine were looking advanced, but you're sound even better!
Dove- bread looks nice - mmmmm
Just been out in the GH and more seeds have germinated. I now have some Osteospernum babies.
Am contemplating doing some fruit trees on cordons - thinking two pears and a plum. Any suggestions on variety?
Pdoc- nothing better than pottering round the GH. Always exciting seeing the seedlings germinating.
