Well this is my first attempt at blogging. It seemed a good idea for me to keep track of what I'm doing and maybe get some help and ideas from anyone who might ever come across this...
You will pick it up as I go I suppose but basically over the last year I have turning our garden into something a bit tasty, and making some clothes in the process. Fruit and vegetable growing is taking over at the moment but I usually have some kind of crafty thing on the go (to keep me busy on my daily train journey if nothing else.)
And so tonight...
- I crafted a rather feeble/tremendous (I can't decide) fruit cage for my strawberries and cranberries. I love birds and there are loads in the garden but when it comes to my fruit I have declared war. And I will win.
- Decided to be brave and leave some brassica seedlings from the greenhouse out for the night. I wrapped them up real nice with fleece but if they die I will weep.
- Potted up a nice big half barrel with a sunflower and some coriander. (I was absolutely convinced that I was growing lemon balm but these little plants look suspiciously like, and smell suspiciously like coriander.) Still good but not as nice in tea!
- And re-potted a yukka house-plant. Please pray for it. I am rubbish at keeping house-plants alive. I heard that if you rub banana skins on the leaves it makes them shiny but I tried and they just looked covered in yuck. Maybe I was rubbing with the wrong side of the skin. And I think I heard that on How Clean Is Your House and I don't think I trust those ladies anymore.
Unfortunately its dark now so I will take some photos tomorrow (if the fruit netting hasn't blown away that is!)
