Displacement activity

Woke up this morning and realised that I just couldn’t face the bank of grasses; even though there were only 37 to go. So instead I pretended I would just do a few other chores before I get started. So I potted up heaps of sunflowers for Andrew. Tidied pots. Then went out and planted a dozen more broad beans which were bursting out of their temporary homes.

That of course involved sorting out the entire bean and pea section of the potager. And before I knew it, I had fourteen large canes up and tied, sweet peas attached, a pea structure built, and another one, and goodness look at the time; too late to start the grasses I think I will go in for lunch.

And then with 5mm of rain, why, couldn’t get any fragile planting work done now. So I cleared away (with help) the huge unsightly log pile that had built up from excess bits of the step building. Laid down yet more weedproof fabric on the newly weeded spot behind the potting shed. And that was the day. Grasses tomorrow, promise.
