Well today saw the boys both back to school this morning after 2 long weeks of holidays. I am also back at work today; could have quite gotten used to not having to go in.
Although this week we are on a 3 day week owing to a bank holiday monday and the Royal Wedding on friday.
The seedlings are coming on in leaps and bounds in the greenhouse and just need to be bit bigger then they will be put to harden off outside for planting on towards the end of May.
We are also creating a wild flower area in one corner of the back garden which will hopefully attract some beneficial insects especially bees.
I need to get some jam made to use up the remainder of the blackberries and gooseberries from the freezer from last year, although I may just save a couple of bags of blakberries just in case i don't get any this year.
Dave wants me to put a stall outside selling it, good idea in essence but we are on a no through road so no passing cars, but maybe if I make some and if it doesn't go could have a stall at the next carboot sale in the village.
Meals this week are from Summer Menu 1, but if the idea for a bbq takes us then obviously things will be jigged around.
Hi maisie..its weird isn't it..feels like a monday to me,tot1 went back to school today and is all excited about the wedding on friday..bless her.
ReplyDeleteI too still have gooseberries in the freezer from last yr and raspberries,got to find time to do the jam.I have a wildlife area in my garden..we got lots of old seeds and mxed them up and them threw about a bit,watered it and they came through last yr,this yr i did the same and put some old logs and let the nettles grow a bit,apparently bees and butterflies love them ,we'll see.I also got an old huge mirror and angled it in the corner of wildlife bit so the tots can see into it without having to climb all over it,sounds daft but looks better than it sounds.
Enjoy your 3 day week.
take care
sara
your wildlife garden sounds great, love the mirror idea.
