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...
isn't the guy on the RIGHT motion blurred?
ReplyDeleteThe guy on the right is not motion blurred. There isn't motion blur at all. If you look carefully, you will see what kind of blur it is :)
ReplyDeleteMy left/right awareness gets a bit fuzzy late at night, after an enjoyable evening. Of course I meant the bloke on the right.
ReplyDeleteAnd what kind of blur would that be?
If I told you what sort of blur that was, it would reveal my secret wouldn't it? :) It's a distortion. The scene wasn't shot directly, that' s why it looks a bit weird.
ReplyDeleteAha! the old herbal blurring, routine, was it?
