De cluttering some baby stair gates to our daughter as baby has just started crawling and yesterday managed to pull to upright and cruise on two feet in the playpen. We don't need them as they can't visit us so they can have them.10

Saturday has turned out to be a lovely sunny day but with an occasional stiff breeze. Having typed that the sun has gone in & it is now overcast & quite dark & chilly 🙁 DH started working in the garden & I joined him after having my cuppa. DH has replaced the single outdoor tap with a double tap, attached the new 100ft hose (the 60ft hose is now attached to the tap in the garage), replaced the weak chain for a heavier chain to hold up the hose box door, filled the last large terracotta pot with compost & planted the eyes from some salad potatoes 🤞 Scattered some marigold & cornflower seeds & covered them with bags of ground cover. We laid out a new strip of carrot seed tape, put proper netting up over the tomato plants in the table top bed, moved a blackberry bush from a too shady spot to a pot in a sunnier spot, cleaned the birds water bowl & refilled & I watered everything with my new hose pipe 🥳 it actually reaches the back of the garden 🥳. Bird feeders & squirrel feeder have been filled.
