Like a full-force gale

 

Proto-strawberries on the go

As is the way, on early-season bank holiday weekends, the weather is mostly shite with brief windows of not terrible. This photo was taken in one of those wee windows, wherein I discovered that both strawberry plants have a bunch of blossoms on the way, which will hopefully result in bunches of berries, come time.

The big news, I guess, is that last Friday was Tomato Graduation Day, where I selected the two (and, in some cases, only) most viable starts of each of the five varieties and put them in their own personal pots to set up what will become Tomato Thunderdome: two starts enter, one start leaves. Progress!

As for the rest, I'm mostly just waiting for A) Fencessaga to reach a conclusion of any sort so I can be sure that there won't be workmen stomping all over freshly planted things, and B) it will be consistently warm enough to not just kill everything before it even starts.

::sigh::

In this week's edition of "things that continue to not die" we have Potatoes In A Bag just prior to being covered in more compost...

Tatties bustin' out all over!

...and pretty tiny purple flowers on one of the rosemarys.

It's not much, bees, but it's all we've got, right now

Also, radishes are carrying on as is right and proper. I should have to ready to go fairly soon, and some new ones have begun to sprouts. 

Meanwhile, Farmer Goth and I are huddled indoors while it rages away, outside, in typical November style. I hope the greenhouse stays up, and At least the tomatoes are inside.

Hopefully this dreadful weather will also discourage the wildlife.
