Morning Campers! Well, I've done today's pickings & having now fortified myself with muesli & a big coffee, I am off to tackle those veg garden maintenance tasks. It could be a good list today….& needs to be.
2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!7 -
Now isn’t that a satisfying photograph! It must feel like a real achievement growing your own - and it looks delicious too 😊

Our tomatoes are starting to ramp up now too - I won't need to buy any extra ones this week, and I LOVE it when it reaches this point in the year!
Loving the little round carrots - I must dig out the last of my packet of those and get them sown somewhere.
