On friday..or it could have been yesterday..I know it wasn't saturday as I was at a riverfly workshop..for which I have kit and a certificate now, as well as an allocated piece of river to monitor for fly activity and temperature..it was fascinating actually, but that's not why I'm here.
So, on either friday or sunday I planted sugar snap peas..parsnips..green mint..and chives..(in seed trays in my little greenhouse)..I love chives, both to eat and when they flower..and obviously I like peas and parsnips too..(-; Did I tell you I had my onions in..I think so..what else have I done..~tries hard to remember~ maybe I should take notes when I'm actually doing things, it would be so much easier when I come to write, though I expect taking noted would totally ruin my involvement with the seeds and soil.
There are lots of bees..they keep me company and we happily potter alongside each other..what's more worrying is that I opened my shed today and the biggest wasp ever was in there buzzing around..it came out so I closed the door..at the moment it's trying to get back in and I really don't want a wasp nest in my shed..will post if/when I need to about that..it's strange too because I dreamt of a wasp last nite..it was about the size of a hand..and also Hawk posted a pic of a wasp nest in his shed which I viewed today..I intend to look up the lore of wasps!!
I repotted my tomatoes..that's it!..and my black peppermint..and this afternoon, I planted sweet williams, sweet rocket, sunflowers (the same batch I sent Hawk..~grin~) and astas, in some old tubs I had from the other house..I have to have flowers too you know..I love them..and so do the bees and butterflies..(-;
want a couple of pics?..oh ok then..~laughs~
7 sunflowers..one for each day of the week..(-:
Tomatoes, black mint, peas and parsnips..
close up of the black mint..I absolutely love the colours of this plant and is really the only reason I am growing it!
And to finish..remember the one single Honesty flower..look how beautifully it grows..
.




honesty is really very beautiful indeed :)
