Evening Emptybox.

Not bad today, 17c sunny mainly with light 11 winds which wasn't a problem.

Just had an omelette for brekkie, onion, mushroom and peppers.

The vine is starting to flower, it has grown lots of new leaves, takes a lot to keep stopping the side shoots and main shoots as they just want to grow on and on, but i want them to put their energy into the fruit later.

Set the new timer up this morning, have set it to 1 watering every 2 days for 5 minutes, it is set to start at 9. 32am when the 3rd set of trees will be watered, they start at 9.30am, i can change it anytime and it has the digital display so all good.

The Beetroot is about ready, so many peas on the plant, wow, just waiting for them to swell, the cucumbers are about 3" now so doing ok, picked another load of raspberries today, put into freezer, the Kiwi Berries are in flower, some have got fruit on, tons of them.

Picked more Cherries for o/h yesterday, a bit worried about so many apples on the trees, letting the Asparagus grow out now into ferns to put the energy back into the roots, tomatoes doing ok in the greenhouse, melons not so, not sure why, loads of growth but one plant seems to have loads of male flowers.

The Jalopeno peppers are doing fine, got some 3" peppers, lots coming, only growing them because i can.

Am thinking of another watering timer for the raised beds, would need another soil moisture sensor unit though otherwise there would be no point.

Will probably make a loaf tomorrow, not sure what type yet.

Decided to have the rest of the curry from last night but with baked spuds instead of rice.

Yes, a day can make so much difference weatherwise, not had 26c lately.

I messed up with the cake again, i put it in the fridge without covering it, and i put too much filling in the middle according to o/h.

Might have to hide some of the stuff from the Asian supermarket as i have to spend over £30 to get it delivered, and about £6 for delivery.

Just watching F1 practice on C4.

Really need to watch some of the 200 recordings.

20c tomorrow rising to 26 next Friday.
