Lovely day in the garden

After my day out yesterday I thought that I better get a grip today and work through my job list.

Change bed.   done
laundry.   done.
Ironing.    done.
Press fabric scraps.   done.
blitz bedroom.   done.
Get Fran's room tidied.  Part done.
Plant Quince.   done.
Plant gift flowers.   done.
Set more French Beans.  Done in triplicate, green, purple and yellow. Note I spread some Alpaca Poo around these, both for growth and to see if the slugs stay away.
Set more salad stuff.   done.
Blitz kitchen.    No, it will have to wait till it rains, or I can not stand to look at it.
Start to harden off Courgettes.   done, must remember to put them back under cover later.
Order Citrus trees.   No, it will happen in the morning.
Vacuum through.  No too busy out doors. There is another day tomorrow not even touched yet.

I know that there are more jobs that did not even make the list, all will get done in the fullness of time.

One thing had has happened is dinner, I was going to make a Frittata  but could not faff around so it all went into an oven proof dish and is in the mini oven.
 I just finely chopped celery, garlic, onion and peppers, diced a little bit of Feta, scooped a spoonful of green olives out of the jar along with some sun dried tomatoes and 2 sliced mushrooms, mixed it up. 3 duck eggs and 2 hens eggs from my friends Dave and Nessa and a smidgen of ground black pepper with a sprinkle of salt.

I have some beetroot to slice and will splash a bit of balsamic dressing about. It sounds a lot but I am cooking for 2 and any left will be good cold on some salad leaves tomorrow.

I hope to do a bit of hand stitching later but will have to slather on some hand cream first as my skin is a bit dry and raspy after being scrubbed 3 times,. I do try to wear gloves but invariably whip them off to handle seeds and then forget about them.

The heavy rain and high winds meant that I had to stake 1 of my little apple trees, it had a pronounced list to starboard. All upright now and looking more secure.

Here is the fabric that I found yesterday, The print on the left came  from Dawn, along with one of the fat quarters.

These scraps have now been pressed and sorted, I have an idea for a project that will use most of them.

Before I had finished this post my timer pinged and I stopped for dinner. The baked Frittata looks huge.

This is my dinner, I threw a few cherry toms on and some torn basil leaves. There is a little home made dressing drizzled on the beetroot, just a few spices, oil, balsamic, soy and wholegrain mustard..My companion had twice as much and left the table satiated. Greedy guts.

Now the washing up awaits and a quick trip to put my plants back under cover for the night.
