I am a couple of days later than intended with my Back to Basics post but I haven't had the computer turned on since last Friday. It has been a nice break even though I didn't get too much done.Sowing or Planting:
Sowing
- 1 row Climbing Princess beans
- rice(an experimental patch in an old bath tub)
- sprouts
Planting
- choko
- 4 x turmeric tubers
- petunias
Harvesting
- asparagus
- lettuce
- herbs
- mushrooms
- globe artichoke
- broad beans
- green garlic
Observations: The compost volunteer tomatoes and other self-sown tomatoes are growing well. The 6 tomato seedlings bought to have a head start are lagging behind (ofcourse).
Planning
- ordering free seeds and saffron crocus from Digger's Seeds
- reading Homegrown Whole Grains by Sara Pitzer again
- organising bees for a new hive
Working
- staking young fruit trees which were knocked about by the recent wild winds
- cheesemaking- Camembert
- making compost (using alot too)
Community
- donated blood on Monday
- visited the local botanical gardens

Love the blog Tracy...your roses are just beautiful!
I should try growing chokos one day. This year isn't good because we are supposed to be painting, but I have always liked chokos. Maybe the kids would enjoy them too.
