Found at the back of a drawer, the back of a drawer

We were berating the lack of contents in our seed tin earlier this weekend and today as it was drizzling we’ve tidied out a drawer or two (very rock n roll! ) and found this pack of carrot seeds wedged at the back of one of them.

On the reverse of the packet it says “Best before 9/2019”. That’s well okay as seeds can last ages (you’ve just more chance of failure as the months/years go by especially something like parsnips but it’s well worth giving old seeds a go!) so we’ll be sticking them in the ground come the spring. Here’s an interesting thing here about out of date seeds and how long they’ll keep for.

From our gardening friends abroad

And here’s a gardening update from our good friend across the pond Justin Patrick Moore with some pics of his veg patch in Cincinnati. From top to bottom, we have some lovely looking basil next to a great looking tomato plant. Wish our basil was looking as great as this one! And then below the tomato which looks like it’s enjoying growing there, loving those fruits!

And something we’ve never tried before, some healthy looking jalapeno‘s, the garden’s looking great Justin! #veglookinggoodincincinnati

Side of the garden that the tourists never see

Due to the drizzle not much was done in the garden over the last couple of days apart from the old council trick of going over the soil (down the vegetable bed at the bottom of the garden) very very lightly with a garden fork before a storm or a shower so when the rain comes it gives the impressive a lot of deep forking and hard work had be going on! Well it makes it looks the bed appear a bit neater anyway.

And another light layer of comfrey leaves were ripped up and left on top of the freshly forked-over compost heap. We couldn’t find any decent borage or nettle leaves that would have added to the heap which was a shame but you should have seen the steam (or was it dust?) that came off the heap when we turned it! #compostinginlockdown.

This post was written while listening to this week’s This is a music show 77 which featured some great tunes as ever especially Rupert and The Rolling Coins from The Bahamas with Grooving which we can’t find on youtube which is a crying shame!
