Observing herbs for any return of cabbage moth

Dealt with Mice - bought these little plastic things that you shove int he brick spacing to keep them OUT - yay - got to be happy with that.

Observing
Pumpkin vine
Tomatoes -Dont seem to be ripening - there are plenty on them - will look into what I can make with them (ideas welcome)

PLANNING/ WORKING FOR THE FUTURE

BUILDING COMMUNITY

Made lunch and went for a drive out into the sticks to enjoy there company.


LEARN A NEW SKILL
Learnt how to format the blog so I have a header that can be linked to - thanks for letting me know that this could not be done Belinda. And many thanks to all those that helped. Becca - it was your suggestion that worked.
Double knitting - I had no idea.

  1. Sounds like a good mini harvest. :)

    Whatever you did when you when you typed up this blog, you made the title of the post clickable! And I have it in my live feeds, instead of it being empty. :D :D

  2. Me? Glad I helped, which surprises me as I don't normally know much about technical stuff either. That is DH's job around here!

    You are doing so well with the back to basics challenge. Have you tested the citrus cleaner yet?
