Last weekend’s bonfire resulted in more than a wheelbarrow full of ash, some of which went in the compost; burning the wooden rubbish the previous occupants left over the bank garden fence resulted in several nails and screws lurking in the ash. Still, no physics geek would be complete without a magnet – make that a big magnet – it made a great job of lifting hidden metal detritus.
Can’t beat a good bonfire. And another. Very gratifying.
Taken last night: a small cluster of red, yellow and yummy purple tulips in golden evening light.
A gorgeous display of colour – flowers catching the evening sunlight in the garden.
This:
Large rhubarb plant
Turned into this:
Proto-crumble
I’m optimistic for rhubarb crumble later 🙂
Today is not a day like this, so I thought I’d post this as a reminder of what gorgeous sunlight on a pleasant warm evening feels like.
This evening involved planting carrots.
We spent the afternoon pottering around the garden.
First, the fencepost on which the external road-visibility mirror is mounted got repainted a nice shade of green:
We planted several tomatoes and made a start on some potatoes:
and some bedding plants – lobelia to flop over the sides of planters:
and some more petunias:
and there’s still a load of veg and herbs to be going on with:
Such domestication. The garden is gradually beginning to look more ready for whatever the summer growth-spurt brings!
