morning ladies We have a lovely cool wind this morning, perfect for when I mow up the last of the tree shortly.
Epsom salts/magnesium is awesome in the garden. I use that and potash around the roses and plants that need a bit of encouragement. Magnesium for stem strength and potash for flowers and fruit. It sounds like you are going great guns in your garden as well, OHH MrK grows leeks and saves the loo rolls to put over them to keep the bottom part of the leek white. We love leeks and you are so right, they are much sweeter when picked small.
The vege garden is going nuts lol. But there is nothing like looking at your dinner plate and seeing every vege on it is from the garden.
Tomorrow the plan is to dig out three of the roses and replant two. They have been knocked sideways and need replanting. I'll give them a very early prune, soak in worm wee and water before planting again. The third, Claude Monet (MrK's favourite) is beyond repair, I think. And while I'm digging out roses, I'll dig out Frilly Jilly. She's not doing well at all here and this is the second time I have tried to grow her. My bestie will take her, and I can guarantee she will do better in her garden lol. I'm going to replace Frilly Jilly with Ziggy next season.
I'm beavering away on the runner in the afternoons. Well, trying too lol. As soon as I sit to do some more, the Furry One wants to sit on my lap and cuddle. It's far too hot but he doesn't care lol. We now have an understanding of sorts, he will snuggle up to me and stay off my fabric and I will scratch behind his ears and pat every so often. And I get a reminder if I 'forget' my part of the bargain.
Roma, the road through Hinuera Village is closing for road works We're happy lol as it will be a tad quieter for a while.
Time to get cracking and make the most of a cool start to the day.
Happy crafting
