If this is the regular one, I'm glad I didn't opt for the large!
Lots of delicious organic produce - I'm already cooking off the radish and turnip tops for supergreens to have with pasta later along with the radish and salad and peas.

Home from my volunteer session 10-3 with the Gay Gardeners at The Wash House Garden.
Today was harvesting for the veg boxes - lovage, mangetout peas, herbs, salad - and weeding among the beans, potatoes and in the food forest herbs. Lots of life abounding.

Took a short trip down to my wee plot of land in between rain showers today.
Planted out some Romanesco broccoli and cabbage as well as my King Of The Early Dwarf French beans from Seeds of Scotland.
Raked over the plot to remove new weed growth and picked up fallen leaves.

Another good and chill session at The Wash House Garden. Today we cleared the raised bed of greens that had sprouted and were choking out the wheat - really pleased to see more sprouting than we'd hoped.
Readied the other two beds to plant out the squash next week.
And the rain stayed off.

Took a little trip down to my wee plot at The Pantry Garden, to see if my plants had survived the rain and wind. All looking okay so I planted the borage plants and the oriental poppy.
Spoke to Clara about poor soil condition. Didn't stay long as it was threatening rain again.

Made it home safe with my okra seedlings intact from the Glasgow Community Food Network and Glasgow Seed Library workshop.
Was told out of 100, they only expect around 23 to survive and of those, around 11 to be viable, so not to get too attached to them. But we'll see.

Do I really need another mug to add to the two I got from Tesco? Clearly no but I got it anyway.
Also picked up this plate from the same charity shop because it has Artemis on it.

Not long in from The Wash House Garden - had a good day. Was making racks for the beehive with @ihave15biases.bsky.social , who popped in to visit. Then I was checking on the wheat, potting on basil seedlings and weeding paths.
Rescued turnips, microgreens and basil seedlings from being composted.
