Mid July
How the hell did it get to mid july already? No idea… Anyways it did and it is here so… Update Insanely even though I feel stuck or going backwards – I also feel like I am sorting feelings and finding myself… I have more than half committed (this is just about as committed as I can ever allow myself) to the new name for my initial flower business – it will be Elsie and Eric (the whole whys etc… will be over on the site when I get it all set up – the E & E site will be more of a business site – what I am…

The Ball
I think we can safely say the saying of the month is… I am not going to lie! its become a joke – I’m not gonna lie… So the balls – yep I dropped them all – a while ago they started to wobble and now they have well and truly smashed – crashed and are out of control – beautiful seedlings that I nurtured and looked so GOOD are dead – why… well due to lots of things but mainly neglect – inexperience – over zealous… nature – whatever. So how are we moving forward from it / with it? Well… Not Gonna Lie… I was wallowing (and I…

Biennials 2021
The list of Biennials you can grow from say end of June to end of July is long – they should hopefully germinate and flower early next spring. -Sweet William – I am not sure I am going to grow these… now I may grow them later on I do have some I have sown last year so may try and save them and see if they come early next year. They do have amazing vase life I have found and work well in bunches. They really need staking! oh and guess what probably feeding… Foxgloves – I already have lots of these planted out from this past year –…

Cake Rhubarb
I love rhubarb – the colour the smell – we lived in a house a few years ago where they had the most ENORMOUSE and GORGEOUS rhubarb plant / bush? thing anyway – every year now I think oh maybe I’ll grow one – but they do take up a LOT of space… well I haven’t done it yet maybe one year… I followed this recipe I have to say it was seriously good – I did alter the topping bit as it was the wrong ratio for me – so I did 25g butter and 4tbsp flour – the rest I left as it was – but I also…

May here we go…
Feeling optimistic about May so decided this months word / moto is BE BRAVE so deep breath here we go… Ideas for May… Get photographing – and better at documenting things for the future – remember to take ‘along the way’ photos… for me as I want to get cameras out and batteries charged – somewhere to upload photos – I would like to get a darkroom going again. Sort out the front garden so looks AMAZING – think of it as shop front (move bins to behind gate – yes very annoying when putting out but will look so much better – re-do bunting – brighter colours Try hanging…

May
Welcome May welcome welcome – like every month so far this year it seems like the world has exceedingly high hopes for you – I feel it is almost a little unfair to put such high expectations on a month… ummm So April showers were supposed to bring May Flowers… except April was one of the driest on record… what is that going to hold – lots of watering or not too many flowers I’m not sure. I have lots of thinkings going on in my brain at the moment – I appear to have taken the beginning of each new month this year almost with the same thought process…
