Got given a dormant redcurrant and loganberry, and so I spent a chunk of the afternoon digging holes, digging compost and sticking them in the bed at the back left of the garden. We’ll see how they do.

Next year’s seeds are arriving. Because hope springs eternal, even if my plants don’t.

Ignoring the mesh and the stick and the sycamore drops and the blue stuff (organic slug/snail repeller) – those are the first signs of perpetual spinach I sowed about ten days ago! Two layers of squirrel proofing – the mesh up top and chicken wire just under the dirt.
Weekend job: getting these into pots. Herself likes her flowers, and these have purple and black blooms.

Final job of the day: a golden berry and a cape gooseberry I started from seed in the spring. Haven’t done a thing with them and suddenly today they were four feet tall in their little pots, so they’ve been repotted and staked and will overwinter in one of the mini greenhouses. Happy, sweaty and tired.

Entirely the wrong time of year to be pruning a wild climbing rose, but it’s gone monster and is screening off a bed that needs immediate attention, so down it comes. It’s the time of year where we have to cut down obstacles and let in all the light there is left.

Cleared this bed and took off the buddleia hanging over it, half-mulched it before my back started twingeing, so I’ll mulch the other half tomorrow and get some vegetables sown. I’ve got to cover that bed, and the old hose I found in the back garden doesn’t have enough strength to make into hoops to suspend netting from.
The other point of today’s posting has been – the iOS WordPress app is not what it was. Image uploading and publishing seems to be hit and miss, and getting podcast details from Downcast into WP is annoying. I also suspect I’m bumping up against some issues in my WordPress theme, Alia.
Making notes in a notebook should be a function, not a chore. Not something that requires extra processes and jobs. It should be pretty much as easy as picking up a pen and writing in a straight line. (Some days that too is a challenge!) This is why we all loved tumblelogs, back in the day – clean and easy.
I believe experiments are in order.
