The onions (those that have escaped a dose of mildew) are drying out nicely on top of the warm earth. Today's glorious sunshine has helped them on their way to becoming very tasty meal additions over the next few months.
Have given my bees their buzz back today http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20090811/tuk-bees-get-their-buzz-back-with-a-spoo-a7ad41d.html
I dotted a couple of small tubs of sugar water mix under the flowers to help them on their way. Hubby and I would love to keep bees someday. In the meantime I hope they are enjoying the nectar from my flowers and the little energy boost (perhaps its like our Red Bull equivalent?)
I have a few ripening tomatoes - but noticed this huge fat slug with his head stuck right inside what would have been a lovely tom! He was so fat I have honoured Mr Tomato Head with a photo on my blog! He'll be drunk on beer later - hopefully in the slug trap.
The herbs look fabulous - especially the flat leaf parsley and the sage. Must start drying some out in the next few days along with the chilli's that are ruby red.
Little Gems are looking good in their little window box. Note to self: Must try and eat more lettuce!
Another blogger mentioned his bath-time herbal remedies. http://ryans-garden.blogspot.com
And I thought I'd tell you how I love to run a bath with some lavender flowers and some oats popped in a muslin bag and hung underneath the hot water. http://www.hankettes.com/qs/product/8/7040/143973/0/0 I sometimes use rose petals if I am feeling indulgent. It doesn't have quite the same effect as the Herbal Essences ad but I enjoy it just as much.
Hope Mr Tomato Head Slug enjoys his trip to the pub (and leaves my toms alone).
