A bank holiday helps me be green and country in the city by giving me more time. As well as city things (one theatre trip, one film), usual things (kayaking Saturday morning, cycle ride Sunday morning), I had an extra cycle ride this morning (such a lot of broken glass about at the moment!), made rhubarb crumble, made some bread rolls, Will have by this evening sown most of the seeds that should have been sold in April, and started a paper mache figurine. I've also had some afternoon naps in my hammock as the leaves on my neighbour's ash tree are just big enough to give me shade (and sometmes the greenest thing to do is nothing!).Note that tidying the conservatory and the studio do not feature in this list though both should do - perhaps next week end.
I successfully found a slug eating my indoor cucumber seedlings, but another leaf half eaten the next night. A couple of visits after dark, but still no sign of a culprit, but another half leaf gone! Yesterday I potted the seedlings into slightly bigger pots - no sign of a slug. However this morning nothing extra eaten, so hopefully now safe!
Put some copper tape round two planter troughs yesterday, one old one with a french strawberry and a succulent in it, and one new one where I had sown carrots and parsley. Need to get some more.
My wisteria looking magnificant, horse chestnuts in full bloom, hawthorn as well. Love this time of year!
