OK, so my title lies a little. They’re more marrows than courgettes! Either way, there’s a lot of them. So, this morning has been spent searching for recipes to use them in, and acquainting myself with the finer points of OneNote (more on that in a later post I think) The first culinary delight to […]
The one with the Big Pink Heart
I’m not really sure if anyone ever reads this apart from me …. butjust in case, I want to link to this blog post from Big Pink Heart. http://bigpinkheart.blogspot.com/2010/08/play-fair.html Big Pink Heart is, its own words, an organisation taking action towards positive social behaviour and respect in the community. In short, a group of people […]
The one with the dropped stitches
I found them. That’s basically the crux of this post! Apparently, you need to create at least one turning chain at the end of each row….. You may gather from this gripping, ground-breaking discovery that I have once again picked up the crochet book. I’m working on a little big bag….. Had to restart it […]
The one after Google Docs
Apart from the last post I put on here today, all my recent posts have been made using Google Docs and its ability to publish to a blog. In their wisdom (?) Google Docs have removed this functionality in their latest update 🙁 Not good… I was just getting used to using it – especially […]
The one with the catch-up
OK, as I’ve now updated the blog and imported all the old posts onto here at last! That wasn’t on the original “list” but it’s a job well done I feel. I’m now well past the half way mark so decided to do a catch-up on the list and update my progress! I’ve adjusted some […]
The one in the sunshine
Oh the wonders of wireless technology – blogging from the garden! Seemed appropriate as that’s where the rest of my day has been spent thus far. The dog is chilling out at my feet as I type – it’s too hot for her! Today’s work has mostly been “planting out” and sowing seeds – the […]
The one with the tomatoes
OK, so the title gives away what I did yesterday! The plan was to make the roof for the summerhouse, but the rain & wind prevented that, so the afternoon was spent in the greenhouse. Have now got 4 tomato plants in the ground, and some salad leaves planted arouns them. I also potted on […]
The one with the long term commitment
Asparagus went into the garden today! Read earlier in the week that putting in asparagus is making a long term commitment to your garden – pledging your troth to it. It’ll be another 1-2 years before we get a proper harvest from it, but then we could be looking at upto 100 spears a year! […]
The one that marks the re-start
Have decided today to take up this blogging lark more seriously! I’m going to try and add something more regularly than I was doing – which won’t be hard. Today saw the arrival of the rhubarb and asparagus crowns for the veg garden, but the beds aren’t quite ready for them yet! Typical. Will hopefully […]
