A cold in the legs
Not kidding. They feel like they weigh about a ton each. Feeling too sorry for myself to blog any more today.
Leech or flatworm? Ants and Swiss Chard
For the 2nd time in a week or so, (1st time regarding dwarf beans ), I'm following Alys Fowler's advice, this time with regard to Swiss chard . Long story short, after midsummer plants which often bolt if planted in spring will resist the impulse to do so, probably because of shortening days; (I say shortening, but in Glasgow, in July, we're still getting 18 hours of daylight). I got a packet of Bright Lights , at a good price, (another reason to wait until July before sowing, lots of bargains, I've noticed). But where to sow them? Most of the 2nd bed is under a tarpaulin, but it wasn't quite big enough to cover the whole bed, so the last 5ft or so went under a sheet of plastic, (in the background of the photo in this post, here .) Transparent plastic was a foolish idea, weeds were growing underneath it, so I covered most of it with sheets of metal from the old shed. I decided to leave the tarp, but use the area beneath the plastic for the chard. Who-ah there...
Get well soon.
ReplyDeleteThat a rugby shirt?
And me. I think it's walking miles day after day looking at ships, and then standing about in the pouring rain at South Shields for 3 hours wot did it.
ReplyDeleteAww, hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDelete(Like the pic!)
I wish I could say I'd drawn that pic, but I got it from google images, searching 'sad'.
ReplyDeleteJohn, I think that's probably a cricket shirt.
Ahh. I'm a prop. One day, I'd like to scrum in the UK, you know, just to say I've done it.
