More tomato seedlings are coming up, and it looks as though Moneymaker will be Reasonable-return-on-our-investment after all. I've pricked most of them out, most of the sweet peppers, and all the brassicas. The beans and squashes are doing brilliantly, and I've potted them on ready for hardening off and planting out when the danger of frost is over and IF AND WHEN WE EVER GET SOME RAIN!!! While the tomatoes are getting a bit bigger, I've planted out the Bughatti and Belize lettuces in the greenhouse bed. We have a marvellous irrigation system that produces slow drips every foot, so one of each lettuce has gone in either side of each drip, and they seem to be thriving. The Asparagus lettuces are waiting a bit longer to go outside.
The Great Weevil Slaughter continues, and I've also taken a hoe to the weeds around the rhubarb and fruit bushes. Anthony and Luke have been discomdockerating and discomthistleating (these may be made-up words) all week, with sterling help from our Holy Week and Easter guests. More obviously creatively, I've been sorting out my photos for potential cards, Sue (the nun formerly known as Gabriel formerly known as Sue) has been at her painting desk, and today a mysterious group of stones appeared in the courtyard. Who moved them?
Between September 2010 and September 2011, I lived alongside an Anglican Benedictine community of monks and nuns. In November 2010, we moved from Broad Marston Manor near Evesham to Mucknell Abbey, a new eco-monastery near Worcester. This blog was about things that I observed and things that interested me. I have now stopped writing it. Thank you to all who were also interested.
