Green Cones! coming to Measham!!
Yep I'm getting one tomorrow - doing my bit for nature and all that! Well it is free - well a free trial anyway!
BBC shows men how to iron!!
As Prince Harry goes to Sandhurst and has to iron his own shirts the BBC take it upon themselves to educate those who don't know how to iron a shirt - now where is my hubby!
Son gets a new name
He decided that if we were meeting up with Running Duck, V-Rap, Tinkerbell and Anglemouse that he needed a name. He is now "The Running Gnome!"
Elsewhere ....
I've been busy in the garden. As today was a rest day (i.e. no running!) I pottered in the garden for a bit. So I did some planting, I plant more:
Carrots
Spinach
Peas
Herbs (Chives, Basil and Thyme)
Lettuce
Peppers
and put the Tomatoes in the grow bag (attaching them to canes too!)
Also I replanted some sunflower seeds for Running Gnome as the slugs ate the last lot!!
One of the ladies at work has also promised me a courgette plant or two!
There is now little space left on the patio for pots!
I was going to dig up the 1st raspberry cane as Running Gnome had knocked off the shots and nothing seemed to be happening, but as I moved the earth I spotted 2 new shots so it was saved! Which means I now have 5 but 1 isn't looking too hopeful!
Of my 6 strawberry plants 2 looked rough when they were planted up and still look rough!
Our soil is pants so the veggie patch is a right off as it is but I might try a raised bed but that means buying timber etc to make it and it needs loads of good soil too.
So all in all a fairly busy afternoon!

planted my bush runner beans tonight
found aphids on the black currants :<(
and the strawberries are flowering :>)
how's the new car?
my strawberries are still small and not flowering! 2 of the 6 look dead as does 1 of the 4 raspberry canes!
Car is big! Very nice, and a shock to the system as manual and I haven't driven a manual for months!
