a quiet weekend

Saturday afternoon was sunny and it was most nice to pluck small weeds in the sunny areas. Added some more carrot and parsnip seeds to the rows where cats and rain had made gaps. Chillies are still getting redder but very slowly now. The beetroots are asking to be eaten, they will be interesting.

This was late in the day with really strange orange light, the brassicas are doing well.



The small chillies are nice and hot



Sunday has been wet all day, so it has been indoors play, nice with a cosey fire.
Some persimmons from the Nicholsons' garden



White foxgloves were planted! Stand clear.

A tidy line

Went mad and put in a line of bricks to make a mowing strip. Though we've already decided to change it, far too straight a line for us. A gentle curve will be inserted next weekend, stay tuned!
The autumn leaves of the snowball tree looked great and needed a photo, then I had a rush of blood to the head and remembered that best Canon G5 takes movies!
This little vid shows the line of bricks as well as the new plantings of broccoli and ripening Tabasco cillies etc.
