What variety do you have? We have Brown Turkey and we’ve had 6 from the greenhouse so far, but we transplanted the outdoor one this year so I don’t think we’ll have any from there

I sowed beans, tomatoes and peppers (all for greenhouse growing) last weekend. Beans are pushing up but not quite out yet, and tomatoes broke the surface sometime between yesterday morning and now. Exciting times!

I always try to see which books we have in common, there’s always one if you stare hard enough!

I’ve got my seed order in and will be starting early sowings of chillies the day it arrives! 🌶️🌱

I first read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 1985, 35 years after it was published; and it made no difference at all :)

I’m willing to bet your produce was both tastier and healthier than the supermarket equivalents, so I’d call that being ahead

My dad owned a second hand/antiquarian bookshop and I basically grew up in it. Stepping into one anywhere I find one will always bring me a deep sense of peace and happiness.

TIL! Had to look it up, did not know this was a thing.

We’re really lucky that there’s a local magazine for the villages around here that always has a page for the bin schedules so we can just cut it out and pin it on the pinboard. Without that I’d constantly be on the council website

Books furnish a room, no one should tell you how to arrange yours any more than they should tell you what curtains you like. If it brings you joy, revel in it ❤️

I like that you’ve managed to turn them into a Hue/Lightness colour picker… serious dedication to the bit 🙂

I have that! Looks like yours is VG, I’d only call mine G, bit roughed at the corners…

I had this in my school classroom in 1987. Still kills me that I never finished Granny’s Garden on it. Priceless memories.
