Half decent weather for a Bank Holiday.....

I woke up to a sunny morning - could I be seeing things? Was the sun really out???? YES - WOW - AMAZING - the question was, would it last?

It was Saturday morning so I ran down to the Lotty shop for some supplies, brassica collars, organic slug pellets and some seaweed extract plant feed, which I was told is a "must have."

I was told to put 1 cap to a gallon - but my watering can is in litres, so the next 15 minutes was spent by all in earshot, converting litres to gallons or gallons to litres. Once that was done I was all set.

I poodled down to my plot, where I was only planning on spending a few minutes as we had planned a trip to Ferring to go and see the ARMCHAIR GARDENER & Co.

I quickly applied the brassica collars to the brussels and broccoli - and very smart they looked too! I then watered the pumpkins and courgettes and replaced their cloches, checked on the peppers and chilli's under the polytunnel and headed home.

1 hour and 20 minutes later and we were in Ferring.

My lovely mother in law gave me another 2 scarecrows - Daisy & Mo which are perfect - just perfect.

Here she is with Biz & Letty the most adorable whippets in the world and much loved

I put them - Daisy & Mo, not Biz & Letty, in my potato plot as soon as I got back. That was, I should say, after the most lovely beef bourguignon lunch with wine and cheese & biscuits and strawberries and cream - yummy.

I spent 1 hour + down at the Lotty that evening - which was lovely in the last of the sunshine for that day. I did a lot of weeding in bed one and made a small start on weeding bed 2 which I plan to continue on Sunday 3rd. I had a lovely cuppa with Mavis and a good chat too - a well deserved break for us both.
