The weather has been quite nice here of late and nice weather always inspires me to get out and into the garden. Today is not so sunny, though and I’ve decided that today will be for getting some more done on the cot quilt that I’ve had on the go for ages, but first I want to go to the nursery and choose some more seeds for the garden.
I’m going to put in some dill and garlic and also try planting onions from seed. This year I want to give preserving a go and thought I might try my hand at some dill pickles. My Uncle used to make the best dill pickles when I was a child. They’d be stored in Nana’s pantry and we had dill pickles on hand pretty much year round.
This season I potted the strawberries in hanging baskets to hopefully deter the slugs from getting to them. This keeps them manageable as they just crawl all over the garden and I don’t have the heart to dig them up, so I plant around what’s left there.
Right, I’m off to the nursery now because it looks like there’s a possibility of rain and as I’m on the bike I want to try and beat it.
