The sun is shining and the birds are singing it’s a lovely day
So I went out to check the tomatoes and the mulch has worked. No more losses. I decided I’d plant these seeds in the spaces left by the logging of the slater bugs They’re only dwarf bush types so are perfect for pots and small sauces
I planted the green beans in here
And the borlotti in the wicking beds although I did sneak some green beans in there as well. I don’t like empty Spaces
I gave the bird cages a good clean. It’s been a while I did that. Just doing a quick empty of the trays. I’ve left them to enjoy the sunshine while I swept where their cages go
I had to show you this. I stuck some fig cuttings into normal cheap potting mix and just left it out all winter

Look at all the little fig trees!
Pretty happy about that.
The sheets are in the wash and will soon be hanging out in the fresh air.

There is nothing better in the world than line dried sheets
Fresh in the bed. You can smell the sunshine
We have figs that grow in all sorts of weird places - mainly underneath the deck where the birds must deposit the seeds. My peas aren't happy. We think it was the quality of the soil so we will start again.
ReplyDeleteThat’s how the one near the shed grew I think. Bird poop.
DeleteSo I knew it was a hardy specimen. Once these grow a bit bigger I’m going to have a grove of figs
The last time I slept in line dried sheets was when I was a kid at home 50 years ago and my Mom did the laundry and hung it on the line. No electric dryers then, at least not in our house.
ReplyDeleteI had one when I had babies and cloth diapers.
DeleteAfter that I never used it. It just cost too much. So I ended up giving it away.
I now line dry or on clothes horses inside during the winter
I always thought if I was rich and had maids, I'd ask for fresh line dried sheets changed daily on my bed. - Simple pleasure.
ReplyDeleteOh I say the same thing lol and while the maid is cleaning the house I can be outside longer lol
DeleteThat is really cool about the figs. Do you know what king they are? I have only just become aware there are different varieties. There were tonnes (literally) of slabs of dried figs at that fruit place in Croatia, and they looked really small with thick pale skins.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. The tree just kinda appeared and grew. It does have small figs but they are juicy and sweet. I guess if we thinned out and actually gave it some attention it might producers bigger ones.
