Update on life
May. 18th, 2008 04:35 pmI just dug a bed to put my baby celeriac plants in. I have no idea what to do with celeriac when it's all grown up. Why am I growing it? I do not know, but it seemed like a good idea. I put some more peas in, because the slugs will not be allowed to win, damn them.
My tomatoes are ready to go in the grow bag, but my dill and corander seedlings have gone all leggy and wimpy after being left too long on the kitchen windowsill. Hmm. I'll just see what happens with them, but all my coriander growing has been doomed so far in my life. I also moved several square feet of golden rod to the back of the garden to free up room for the celeriac. I put it in the 'nature area', ie, the bit we let go rampant. Annoyingly, this area has beautiful soil - rich dark and crumbly. So I dug up a load of it and took it down to the celeriac. There are Jerusalem artichokes too, nd a horseradish. Some fucking mollusc or other ate all of my butternut squash plant!
Apart from digging, I have been going to the gym three times a week for the past two weeks, so my arms and legs were better able to cope with the digging and carrying, which was great. I actually am loving going to the gym because it seems to be giving me results. My clothes fit better and at least one spare tyre has gone already, and I feel more energetic and happy. I'm not bored yet, even though they play truly AWFUL music, ye gods.
Things still to do today:
Washing the dishes - they are looking at me right now. It's so beyond my turn it's not funny. Poor man.
Making bread - with the Mapledurham stoneground flour.
Going to tea.
Spending an hour talking to friend G about his novel.
