Sunday is funday !

A nice quiet start to the day with breakfast accompanied by "Macca". A Sunday morning ritual. Then a quick trip into the Village to drop two more patio chairs off at the dump. We started out with ten and one by one the arms have broken off. Its such a shame as they were nice looking chairs. We are down to the last four and I think that it is about time I researched some replacements. It would seem that nothing is built to last anymore :-(

Back home to do just a little yard work. The Gorgeous Boy transplanted some tomatoes. He had planted some seeds a few weeks ago believing them to be chives but up popped tomatoes...each and every one. Well you can't waste a healthy seedling can you? So he temporarily transformed my new soil store into a small garden bed. In went the tomatoes with a few lettuces that he was thinning out and voila, instant veggie garden. While he was doing this I found this growing on one of the mushroom compost bags.

Now that is one big mushroom. Note the Biro beside it for size comparison. A little stuffing on that and you could feed a family of four ha ha. I ended up chopping it up and putting it in the compost...too much of a good thing !!!

This afternoon I finally found the time to pickle the chillies that The Great Dane gave me from his garden when I visited last Wednesday. A bottle for the Farm, one for the Granny flat and four in my pantry. The few remaining ones I minced up and poured a little of the pickling vinegar over them. Into a small jar and into the fridge for if I am in a hurry and need a little chilli quickly. Many years of living in Asia and a meal is not a meal without chilli.

Don't they look lovely and bright? I think I will sit and have a rest now. I still haven't read my Organic Gardening magazine yet. So much to do....so little time....sigh.
