Im currently bored out of my brain , we have barely had a single visitor this summer , im sure fuel costs have much to do with this . We dont go anywhere unless its medically related then i have to try and cram whatever else needs to be done into the same days. Ive even started the autumn tree pruning being as the heat has pretty much killed everything off the only thing going mad is the beetroot and a few bush beans i found going spare in an aged packet , the tomatoes look as if they will all come ready at once , ive plums dropping off the tree that i cant climb up...lol , the apples are tiny this year but theres loads , gardens its just strange from year to year . I wish we could tap into the gutterings but theyre cast iron so no chance . Just sowed a load of broad beans into pots depending on the weather it will either be a late crop in october or loads in the spring who knows . Im sure with all the climate change predictions we should have a mild winter but you just know that the weather predictions are always wrong and it could well be an arctic winter in which case people will die in their own homes . There seems to be very little light on the horizon not a thing to look forward to . Ho Hum im leaning more towards murdering himself and going to prison where my warmth and food wont be something for constant worry
Our garden is lost this year , hubby sewed 4 rows of French beans and only 3 seeds germinated, the courgette plants never grew above six inches . So we have written this year off altogether.
ReplyDeleteI'm having french beans later-Don't know what with yet though-I just put a few more seeds in an hour ago-I thought I'd try as I've just got some more seeds 75% off at Wilko x
ReplyDeleteNo corn for us. Planted one and a half packets…5 plants came up! Butternut squash is also a bust. I have lots of yellow squash and finally, green beans. Makes menu planning easy.

Hugs. No idea about the gardens, but our fuchsia is now bigger than my car. Nothing else seems to be flourishing.
