So jealous of your patty pans! I've tried to grow them a few times and never had any success :(

I've grown them this year in a huge tractor tyre which seems to have worked well as they like warmth and the tyre holds onto the heat of the sun and they also like a lot of water which can't drain away to quickly in the tyre.

Morning, very wet here today, the garden will be happy. Hopefully it will brighten up this afternoon and i can sit outside with a book. This morning is laundry and house jobs.

Decided to try and have a low spend week regarding groceries, freezers are full and the garden is producing quite a bit so i'm going to try and stay away from the supermarket, will need milk,butter and greek yoghurt towards the end of the week but I will send Mr pwps as he is much better than me at just walking into a shop and only buying what is on the list.
So i havn't made a meal plan this week, i'm going to wing it and try and make meals from what we have and what the garden gives, yesterday was fruit and yoghurt for breakfast, lunch i had hummus with carrots and radishes from the garden in a wrap, tea was a cheese omelette. 
Today for breakfast is yoghurt, strawberries and blueberries from the garden with HM granola, lunch i have some crumpets that need eating which i might top with the last of the hummus and have some veggie sticks on the side,Dh is home for lunch so he will either have the same or a cheese toastie with veggie sticks. Tea tonight is a spicy garlicky chicken tray bake using some chicken thighs from the freezer and potatoes, PP squash and tomatoes from the garden, also have some mushrooms that need eating so might chuck those in as well.
Need to make a sweet treat, might make scones or some butterfly cakes.

Finances are ticking along it's the end of the month slump so not much happening, £6 in from v1nted which has gone to holiday spends pot.
HP spends £60
HP Africa £1891
