Despite the forecast of a sunny afternoon it’s been grey all day and much cooler, rain is on its way, in anticipation I’ve sowed two rows of peas using the blackcurrant prunings I saved for pea-sticks.
Sandy’s just been on my salad bed again, he even dug a hole earlier when I wasn’t watching.
I spotted some baby gooseberries and within half an hour of seeing them three goldfinches arrived as if by telepathy, (yes, I know, they’re beautiful) they were grubbing about in my onion bed, I’m sure it was just a cover for a takeover. I’m now wondering whether my gooseberries weren’t barren last year after all. I had a robin here today too, a much more welcome visitor than the finch gang.
The rubbish lorry is coming again in the morning, unusually two weeks in a row. This means an early start as he is here and gone between 7.45 and 8.15 am.
I just surprised one of my neighbours who popped her head up over the fence and didn’t expect to see me sitting here… we talked about the weather, of course.
