Early visit to Plot 13 to beat the heat.... Made the first comfrey and nettle tea batches of the year, gave the asparagus and potatoes a seaweed feed and then weeded the whole plot before the little beggars get too big  After a couple of hot dry days the soil in the beds is looking dreadful, grey, dry and cracked plus full of stones. 2024 looks like the year I am mostly going to be putting in some serious work improving the soil in each bed!

Get some well rotted manure/mulch and just apply to the top of your beds, leave the worms to take it in, conserves moisture too

I have the TV on most evenings, although to be fair I also tend to have the laptop on. The degree of attention that each gets, depends on how interesting the TV is!

Much the same for me, I do have the tv on in the kitchen whilst dinner is being cooked if I’m the one cooking & keep an eye on pointless,then have the news on whilst we eat, but I can’t always hear it as himself has an opinion on everything  :wacko even though he doesn’t want it on! Then once I’m settled for the evening tv is on usually but I’ve got my iPad open(stops me nodding off  ) or I’m getting back into reading novels & so I read. If himself is watching something I really don’t like I take my book to bed. Summer usually sees me not sitting down til 9ish or in the conservatory etc so no tv at all then & I don’t miss it. Different I think if you live alone & don’t want to be surrounded by silence

Stormy weather - Lens Horne.

Grey and wet this morning

I do the same, Yorkie.
