The hope of fixing the Jalapeno came to nothing as the Raspberry Pi failed to work. I was glad when Amazon arranged for it to be picked up from my home without further cost. So often when something you have ordered over the web goes wrong it cost us to send it back. Sadly as Amazon don't sell the Pi directly they couldn't just send a replacement so I am now waiting to be sure I have the refund before reordering to try again. Though at this stage I am wondering if my ASIC is jinxed. I know that is just plain silly but...
I was out in the garden replanting the seeds that have failed to come through. That includes my peas, sweet corn, and pumpkins. With some luck they will come through this time as the weather has warmed more than enough not to be an issue now. Maybe the local wildlife feasted on my seeds before and that is why nothing came of them. Or maybe just one night it was too chilly for the slowly emerging seeds. I have no idea if any of that was the reason for forcing the replant yet something that the cold would have affected ie coriander came up and is now gathering strength. Of course it is still got a bit to go before I'm sure I will get a crop to add to mayo with a little lemon juice, yum. Nothing like those summer recipes and fresh herbs from the garden make them even better.
What has excited Magz is that the strawberries are now beginning to flower. She does love her strawberries. She is also looking eagerly at the gooseberries which are swelling slowly. Yes the fruit side of things is looking good. Lets hope it continues and we also get some cherries for the first time.
