The big new today of course is the royal wedding. I must admit though I didn’t watch it but I did see the dress. It was the one thing that Magz insisted keeping the TV tuned to the BBC for. I do wish them well, it’s just that I have never really been a royalist. I’m not against them, so the wedding isn’t really something that grabbed me other than getting an extra days holiday because of it. It was nice to hear that the weather held out for them though.
I got the lawnmower working again though I’m not sure what I did. I took the air filter off, cleaned the sparkplug but nothing more. When I put the filter back on and pulled the cord it sprang to life. So I took advantage of the opportunity to get my grass, front and back in order. Hopefully it will work when I need it again, I just have to wait till then to see.
My strawberries are in flower as are my two apple trees. My cherry trees though are now shedding their petals. The rest of my plants are coming on well. I’ve caned the peas so they can start climbing as they grow. With the aid of some garden twine they should do well. My replanted cauliflower is now sprouting though my carrots still haven’t shown any signs of life. I may have to get fresh seed as the ones I used were left from last year so my have caught a touch of frost over the winter. I’ll see if I have some more left and give them another go but if I still don’t get anything I’ll need to get some more.
I bought two tomato plants last weekend with some lettuce and a bell pepper plant. The lettuce has had me worried that it wouldn’t take but it is looking a little better today. The tomatoes are doing very well at the moment as is the pepper plant. With all of those I should hopefully get some good salads this summer. I just need to pray I get the weather for it.
