Got the work out the way yesterday, had a nice afternoon nap and a decent night's sleep, so I'm raring to go today. And it's bright but a little bit breezy, so not too hot outside. (Perishing cold last night - the tomato plants are looking a bit sorry for themselves today - and it's due to get colder this weekend.)
So, calçots will go in today. And I'll get a bed ready for spinach and the like, which I'll sow tomorrow.
Mr Snoop is off out today at an event called "greasy motorbikes". Unlikely as it may sound, he spent some time choosing the outfit he was going to wear. Me, I'm in pink fluffy slippers, stripey pale blue socks, a dark blue t-shirt dress and a blue cotton jumper with an odd kind of tear down the back that occurred at the launderette. Perfect gardening wear! I haven't quite got to the stage of the green dress with purple cardigan with the buttons done up wrongly, but I'm working my way towards it.
Right, on that note, time to get going. Have a good one, everyone.Comment

Good morning all.
Sunny morning and quite nice.
Not doing pitch and putt today as I have too much to do at home.
Never wear slippers but wear light slip on Sketchers indoors.
Have a good day all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Afternoon all!
Sunshine and showers here today, but not that warm unless you're in the greenhouse. C/heating turning on every evening now....
I've been passata bottling today, now on here and listening to the lids 'popping' - a lovely sound. 8 Jars so far....
Must put the dishwasher on and then put the hoover round.
I'll find a film worth watching this evening and do some ironing while I watch, which works for me haha.
Then I think I'm nearly up-to-date - just the bedroom decorating to finish
Enjoy the rest of your day

Good evening, it has been a lovely sunny day today, started off early as we were staying at our sons last night, to watch the boys, so was up early and out with the dog before the boys got up, I dropped into my house and picked up some tomatoes for my son and daughter and once my son came back home I took OH to a GC for lunch and having a look round I decided to buy some heucheras as I have been thinking of buying one for a wee while so I bought 4, we then went to an other GC where I noted an other selection of the plants so I asked OH what she thought of them and she liked them so I seccumbd to getting them though, I told OH that as she liked them I would get them for her, so guess who earned some brownie points todayand now that I have them I note they go very well with the red lettuce

Can't see why they wouldn't grow well in Scotland. If you can grow onions and leeks, you can grow calçots. They are a bit of a faff, though, if you grow them from seed. Essentially, you grow a calçot onion during the summer. Then you lift it in August or thereabouts. And then you replant it a few weeks later. New shoots then emerge from it. If you've ever left an onion in the ground by mistake and come back to it a few months later, you'll have seen the same thing. It is these shoots that are called calçots and which you eat, usually February or March time depending on when you planted the bulb and on the weather conditions. Calçots are very sweet and get quite thick, so I don't think you can use any onion to grow calçots from.Originally posted by rary View PostHad to look up calcots Snoop as I had never heard of them, they look very interesting, do you buy young plants or do you grow from seed and if growing in Scotland what would d be the best season for growing them?

Having described the full process, I have to admit that I cheat and just buy the onion bulbs, which I then plant out at this time of year.
As for the person portrayed, seeing as it's me I take no offence. I freely admit my lack of fashion nous.
Very bright here today, but it was very cold last night. Am waiting for things to warm up a bit before I go and water everything. It was cold enough to see my breath in the air when I stepped outside about 11 pm last night. Doubtless, some things will have wilted away. The courgettes have been looking miserable these last few days, so I don't hold out much hope for them.
Catch you later, guys. Have a great Sunday.Comment

Good morning all.
It's a nice sunny morning at 14 degs.
The usual Sunday.
Off road church and then a visit to some family members.
Have a good day all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.
