| Happy looking strawberries! |
I am so excited for Marge’s blueberries! The
gooseberry bush has been knobbled again by small caterpillars that are smarter
than I had suspected. They seem to have laid their eggs within the thorns and
gone great guns when they have hatched. No gooseberries for us at the moment!
Hopefully Ms. Blueberry will make up this.
My cucumbers are coming along fine, the
tomatoes have outgrown their containers and the kale looks like cress. Not sure
whether this is a good thing at the moment. I have planted my strawberry plants
in a hanging basket on Marge’s advice. Apparently they get stressed if they don’t
have enough drainage, so problem hopefully solved! They seem happy away from
the other plants, anti-social berries!
After a terrible week of disappointment and frustration over future jobs and current work, I came home and found small green things sprouting in my homemade planter. I looked away for a moment and I swear the green things grew a few more centimetres. I’m final able to distinguish between the spring onions and carrots now! And thanks to their arrival the cats seem to have stopped sleeping under the wire I put down in a botched attempt to deter them. Now I just smack on the window like a crazy person yelling, “get off my onions!” Then, continuing to feel a little bit like God in the creation of onions and carrots, I pushed back the tops of my radishes and found beautiful rounds of red pocking out of the soil! And the bluebells are out, so peace has been restored.
