I've got a swimming pool!





Heh. Fooled you didn't i?
I wish! but no...i was digging out the garden and found a paddling pool! it's completely wedged in under the soil:( and worst of all The Bearded Wonder won't be back for a while so i can't even ask him to help!
I have absolutely no idea how i am going to get it out, i don't know how big it is so can't really dig around it... hmmm. 

~In other happy news i did manage to transplant the parsley and basil, the basil looks slightly worse for wear, it's roots hadn't established as well as the parsley, but never mind, i'm sure it will survive :)

 And i took a quick peek at the potatoes, they are starting to grow full roots now so i added another layer of potting soil :) 

That's it really... not a lot else to report haha!


What are you up to today? :)

    I never get much luck with Basil outside, so I tend to keep them inside, we planted spuds a while back, so we can dig them up before we move, if we ever do that is xx

      I must admit, this is the first time i've put them outside, i normally grow them on the windowsill but i decided to be bold, it's not too much of a loss if they don't survive, luckily :) xx

    Don't you just hate finding things buried in the garden! It is so annoying when you are trying to make a new area. I hope that you can work around it in the meantime. xx

    I enjoyed your blog, you did fol me I thought you were building a swimming pool. You could make a lovely pond out of your paddling pool as long as it doesnt have holes in it. I made a pond last summer and have recently got some fish to go in it.

Our Speaker Today

Hi guys :)  I am part of a community growers group, and over the next year or so we are going try and make our village look nicer and have an edible garden and flower beds.  Co Durham council are going to stop planting flowers in the flower beds on our main street, due to budget cuts, so we got the idea of putting things in the beds ourselves, including lots of herbs, and fruit bushes along the green. We want to really bring the community together and get them involved in growing things and generally making the village look nicer.  Yesterday, me and a two other members (and friends of course!) went on a wee jolly to Durham, for the Food Durham Annual Gathering. It is a marvellous initiative called The County Durham Food partnership.More info  here "Launched in May last year, the purpose is to work together for a more equitable,sustainable, fairer food system for County Durham providing access to food that is healthy for people and the planet."

DIY Washing Machine, Leeks and Banana Fertilizer

The forecast said it would be fine, Perfect drying for laundry time. Strip the beds, collect the clothes, Into the machine the first wash goes. The colours separated from the white, Why do socks disappear from sight? Pegs at the ready, machine finished spin, Hanging out clothes about to begin. All of a sudden it starts to rain, Carry the clothes back in again. Wait awhile and hope it will stop. Is it worth sorting another lot? Mary Rose Hi guys :) I finally got round to buying a washing machine! Ok, so not in the usual sense of the word. I bought a plunger! We don't own a washing machine, our old one conked out completely before we moved and we can't afford to replace it. So, i do our washing by hand.  It's not a hardship, we don't generate much washing, and we wear most things more than once unless it is stained, and as much as i love it (Much quicker, no electricity, relatively eco friendly) it does take its toll on the hands, e...
