Today is Saturday 21st May

It is a lovely sunny morning. I’ve been up a while having had a early night last night as everything suddenly caught up with me.
No doggy class today as we have reverted back to Sundays at 11am rather than Saturdays at 10 so not quite such a rush if the day starts later than usual.

Plans as always aren’t much, but next week we are really busy, so we shall enjoy the ‘rest’ while we can!

The recent rain has does wonders for the garden veg and the onions are doing very well.
We also have some green beans coming up, so Hubby will put some support wire along the back fence to encourage them. The past two years have seen little in the way of beans which was very disappointing bearing in mind our first growing year.

In the greenhouse, we have tomatoes, cabbage and cauliflower in trays, and will transplant those when they are bigger, then along one side are swede and leeks. I may have buried the seeds too deeply as they are taking a while to show, but we have some activity in the back row!

We walked the Kela route yesterday afternoon and could see one duck with about ten babies. Apparently there have been several broods so far this year, but they have all been picked off by crows and gulls. No sign of any goslings yet that we could see. The problem walking through the park is the mess as there is goose shit everywhere, even on the grass, so it’s hard to avoid and Maya picked some up the last time we went there. It was not nice getting it out of her gob.

Have a good day everyone. Keep safe.
