Always hoped for a local Book Club and now a member! Introduced to stuff I wouldn’t normally choose, which is sort of the point. Enjoyed this one. 1/2

Figs from the garden

I’m in the night garden. Might stay.

Two of my salad trays have germinated already. Day 3. Very chuffed!

Scallywag variety of chilli. They’re tiny but 80,000 on the Scoville scale so I’m glad I only used half in tonight’s dinner! 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️

Mattar paneer with coconut rice tonight!

Just sown. Some of these might be too late. But with prices rising exponentially if you have leftover seed you’ve nothing to lose!

Slim pickings from tiny garden but couldn’t be more thankful!

Chocolate can be good for you! I made chia seed mocha puddings. Recipe says they’ll keep for up to 5 days. As if! 😂

Clematis with its roots in shade

No? I’m hooked on their stationery!

Well these are so quick and easy to make. Gluten free peanut butter cookies. www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes...

Dog sitting this little guy. He was nervous last time. Now not so much!

What is wrong with the person who did this? Are they deliberately anti-social or just plain stupid? I'm going for both! (And yes of course I returned it).

Wonder who'll eat more - me or the birds? Nowhere near ready, these are Lapins variety which turn nearly black when ripe

Self sown, I didn't plant any sweet peas this year 😆

Tiny garden looking refreshed after rain last night

A breakfast that reminds me of Thailand!

Dwarf green beans are all planted out, surrounded by tagetes to deter bugs 🤞

Mmmm

It’s decades since I ate pizza. Homemade from scratch going in!

Seems likely this will be an annual event. Cut at dawn. Lady Sylvia climbing rose bought from David Austin in memory of a friend. Delicious fragrance but these were 2m high on an arch! Not any more 😊

Afternoon

If you see this, post a tree

In the tiny garden today 🌱

For the first time in ages, my peace lily 🌱 is flowering! I hope it's a good sign ✌️ 🕊 🇵🇸

Impromptu batch cooking. Stuffed mushrooms, peppers and aubergine ready for the oven.

The breed is known for forming a strong bond with its humans. I volunteered as he lives next door and howls if left alone. Not altruism on my part!

Dogsitting a hypervigilant Maltipoo isn't as relaxing as I'd hoped! 1/2

Meanwhile I’m trying to be very Zen with the ‘pricking out’ but honestly, after a while, it’s just a rather monotonous job! 🌱
