Think I need to do that with the slugs seem to have got a stripy one that nematodes are not working on and large ones horrible in the compost bin it is really wet here today but not doing that today would just get ill er
Nutcutlet - just watching a bird out window - think it is digging for worms with it's beak
yes your right wintersong.. i find the garden looks to bright and fresh in the rain.
spent the last 3 days in the garden as glorious hot sunshine all weekend.. neigbours had BBQ on sunday and the otherside had one yesterday.. honestly a little bit of sn and they all go aussie style on us..
Worked in the studio most of today, stepped outside between showers to see broad beans finally putting on some growth. Herbs are doing very well, cut a big handful of origano to add to a poaching chicken, alliums are starting to flower.
Last year's oregano had grown much too leggy, woody last year, and it had almost taken over, so I dug up (I thought) about 95% of it to make room for something new this year.
I went round the garden today and found it had thanked me for the hard thinning out by producing beautiful new, lush, low lying growth of new plants with a terrific smell and flavour. Oregano, with the soft flossy fronds of young fennel, makes a lovely addition to the salads we can start to enjoy now we have a summer (!*!*!*!) ( Am I being a bit rash tempting providence like that?)
I've had my courgettes out in their final posish for a week or so; hardened them off well before that, they are only putting on growth at a very slow rate but they are surviving.
If I had a final position they'd be in it by now artjak. I've always got too many plants for available space. It's big garden but there's not much planting space left. weeds to clear, drain pipe to be run through first and so on.
