I cannot quite keep up with the weather!
Also did a couple of vases of yellow/orange flowers and some nasturtiums for the Wendy House.
R returns from Yorkshire today so baked some rock cakes - seem to taste ok.
Into the garden to pick flowers for the house - especially sweet peas - you have to keep at them or they go to seed. The whole house now smells of the flowers.
Went to the veg beds to get some beetroot to cook and pickle (except, after I put them in the bottom oven to cook I found that I did not have enough pickling vinegar. The cauliflowers are gone - rain and slugs - so uprooted and put onto the compost heap - well the big rubbish heap at that end of the garden. When I think of the rubbish I throw in there I wonder who lives there? I know there are toads and slugs and snails and so on - I have to be careful with the fork because of the toads.
Then went to my special, clever carrot pots and pulled some carrots.
They seem to have forked a bit like the one shown so not a huge success - but they taste wonderful.
Clearly the carrots are suffering from a bad dose of anthropomorphism!
Time to feed the birds again - the tits - blue, coal and great have developed a great hunger for the peanuts. The young blue tits - they have a bit to learn - even challenging the greater-spotted woodpecker.
They will learn the pecking order given time.
