It’s good that I’m working from home today. The weather has been lovely, even though I’ve only been able to appreciate it from the spare room. This is where I have ensconced myself for a day’s work at home. I have my trusty IBM laptop, mediocre Internet connection and a nice tea and a biscuit. What more could a man want?
Amy has gone to the cinema to see ‘Sex and the City’ and Jake is still sleeping in his big bed. If all goes well, then he should wake around the time I knock off. Today’s work day will end at 4ish and then we’ll pop round Trudi’s to pick up some pumpkin plants.
Still no sign of the carrots or runner beans. Trudi reckons they should make an appearance in a week or so. Fingers-crossed!
After work I spent the evening in the garden. I’ve potted a tray of lettuce and some beans. I started cutting the timber for the next raised bed. I’ve had to make this one 8 inches high because of the inherent slope at the back of the garden.
I’ve lost another marigold to the slugs!!! Instead of eating the leaves they just chomp straight through the stalk :-(. I picked a few more off this evening but fear I’m waging a losing battle(at least until the nematode army arrives).
