vital functions
Jul. 4th, 2021 10:36 pmReading. Some more progress on both The Silmarillion (J. R. R. Tolkien) and Between the World and Me (Ta-Nehisi Coates).
Writing. I have started to get unstuck on the whatdodid I even do all day? post series, after a lengthy break! Not many actual words, but a lot of shuffling things around in my head.
Making & mending. Reassembled the fruit cage! I need to finish reattaching its edges to the downpipes but that's a job for Next Week.
Sorted out the Felco Model 7, when the part came in!
Reassembled the auto-opener with new cylinder and foot clamp, so now all four roof vents actually open again!
Growing. Sown: cucumbers, Cosse Violette, more chillis.
Germinating: CUCUMBERS. More sweet basil! A squash. And -- this isn't germinating, as such, but most of the oca are growing LEAVES and they are not at all what I had vaguely expected the Leaves to Do, and I am delighted.
Planted out/potted up: sweetcorn. Yacón, courtesy of
aldabra (thank you!). One pea, which promptly got eaten. :| (The purple sage has self-seeded and I also want to consider potting those up, but haven't yet...)
Ready for harvest: artichokes; a frankly alarming proportion of the redcurrants; a small but steadily increasing quantity of jostaberry (which I have been nibbling).
Weeding: the oca; the big bed with the sweetcorn; the nettles from the place I want to put the shed (though not, yet, the raspberry canes) ; some more of the fruit cage; some more of the wee bed.
I think I have decided that I want the Chaenomeles japonica courtesy of my mother to go into one of the Large Pots and be a Patio Plant.
Observing. TWO patio foxes AT ONCE. Bat! ... a New Rescue Snail.
