Gotta say I'm in the Pimms corner - and will fight for it (maybe not, seen enough of that sort of thing lately!)
work was actually a breeze today, expected and prepared for walking out and being 'picked on' again(for want of a better phrase). But quite the opposite, everyone happy and supportive. Weird!
No gardening today, and cold out there now - I'm sure my lovelies will survive a day without me (and know The Brute will!).
Was thinking about you MrsG and pleased to hear things went well at work. Sometimes the thought of what's going to happen is much worse than the reality. Glad they were supportive
Only had pizza for tea so I'd better find a few Pimm's to make up for the 5/10/15 fruit and veg I've missed today. What does it taste like?
Does anyone know of any fun recipes for rhubarb? Last year I rested the rhubarb completely not knowing its history but this year it would be nice to taste it!
Clari - don't know if this counts as fun, but it's really easy and a big hit here - we eat it as pudding with creme fraiche and then as cake (still with creme fraiche )
Quick hello before shooting off to another choir practice.
Welcome Clarice!
Haven't posted since the Harrogate show on Saturday - no, I didn't meet Punkdoc (or at least, I don't think I did!). But I did see 2 red kites, maybe the same ones Yvie and Punkdoc saw there. Lots of interesting stalls, products, displays and plants; not especially impressed with the show gardens (too "bitty"), but bought 4 plants (sempervivum, epimedium, trillium seedling and claytonia), all I could carry on the train. A good day, though cold and showery.
Veg seeds are up...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Welcome Clarice, they are nuts on this thread except me
Potted on my aubergines, topped up small toms a bit( GH ones still in conservatory) Dave is ok in GH with fleece cover, potted on lettuce and fleeced my spud sacks more frost predicted tonight Done a bit of weeding and pot watering. My old apple tree has blossom and the beech hedge is showing green Loads still to do including washing out the old GH.
Yippee at the second attempt at sowing I have 3 chilli willy seeds from the last six germinated..Clari I might have seeds to share in the distant future
