The last week has been spent going a funny shade of olive on the Greek I island of Corfu. And I do mean a funny shade, the scorching sun meant I went a bit crispy in the first two days despite the factor 30 being slapped on. Surrounded by what looked like purple bindweed, the resort was lovely. There was nothing to do, but sit in the sun and read.
And I did, I went through a few bond novels. Found that they were an interesting genre. Nothing like the big screen adaptations. Though I did read them with chris Cornell and Adele running through my head. Bond is a strange man, and his Bond girls are awful. Much of the novels content and language is a child of the time in which they were written. Making some of the novels uneasy reading. The other literature was Sue graftons…

Allotment promise: different types of harvest
Awesome and thank you for sharing Liz
This year at the allotment I’ve been determined to try and have a broader range of harvest.
This week I’ve managed to have a visit where I gathered some less obvious things. Alongside the raspberries and blackberries I wanted some specific extra crops.
The hens love sunflower seeds. And this year we managed to grow several different kinds. The blue tits at the allotment are getting plenty of nourishment but I’ve also collected a few today for the home birds.
While liking for little things I headed into the cold frame. The coriander goes to seed like lightening so those little spheres are straight into the basket.
Then there’s lupins. The seed is edible somehow so I’ve now got some to experiment with. Mind you they do spread their seed fast, unfurling like rabbit ears so some of the pods might be empty.
After searching through the pods I won’t…

Hortus botanicus: Leiden
Awesome update and thank you Liz for sharing have a blessed day
I do a bit of gardening but I’m not sure that I’m a gardener. I tend to think my successes are an accident and I’m never sure what my gardens going to do.
But I’m always open to inspiration.
Hortus botanicus is a lovely place in Leiden, The Netherlands. It’s also included on the Museum card so entry is covered and it’s possible to go as many times as you wish through the year.
I particularly enjoy the chance to get some fresh air, take some photos and be inspired.
In a rare break between downpours we made it there this week.
The veg garden is getting very overgrown and going to seed so I always feel better that our plot is pretty scruffy too right now.
It’s one of those places where there’s lovely walks and paths with interesting buildings and some fantastic trees.
They have a breathtaking arial…

Saving Pea Seeds & Moving Raspberries
Awesome post as always I just come buy a juicer and I agreed wished I had one ages ago
This week at the allotment it has felt more like autumn, with some wet and breezy days. One morning this week it was quite foggy too and on this particular morning I noticed lots of spiders webs that looked beautiful with the moisture from the air making then sparkle:
.
The allotment is starting to slow down a little bit now and I am harvesting vegetables every three days now instead of daily, however the harvest is still good on those days:
.
At the moment the allotment plot is looking very pretty with the calendular and tegetes that line the paths. They also attract many beneficial insects as well, which is why I grow them:
But I can’t wait for the final finale that the michaelmas daisies give, that edge my rotational beds.
When they flower I love the contrast between the purple and the orange flowers and when…
