Curry for my tea too @jpscloud . I had delivery of sugar Free jelly with grocery order this morning so made 6 small puddings - added half a pint of boiling water to the jelly crystals then a handful of frozen berries which I whizzed in blender and as it cooled added about quarter of pint of cream . Cold puds for next few days to serve topped with a fresh berry and cream.

Not too much gardening today I've been trying to rearrange our meet up with friends in July and also lots more washing and drying taking advantage of quick drying weather. I did sow another pot of basil as trying to always have a replacement pot ready plus did same with lettuce seeds. I also roasted some local beetroot in olive oil and when cool peeled and sliced then and added ACV. So it's ready for salads. I'll also doing hm hummus and garlic and pepper salad tomorrow ,
Right off out to water plants and check up on things in garden now it's cooling down

It was 10° and overcast here today and a bit windy as well. Not exactly the weather for sunbathing.

Covid jab went fine, no problems, but then I didn't expect any.

Breakfast: fruit salad and yoghurt.
2nd meal will be more buttered chicken, this time with cooked, chilled, jewelled basmati rice. I'm taking it with me when I go out today. I made enough to share with about 15 or 20 other people so that I could take it today.
Just finished the lemon cupcakes so no rushing around today.

Brr that's chilly @Annb, I noticed you have very cool weather and rain on the weather forecast. It's warm here today, we have 24C at the moment - not too hot but I can't stay in the sun. I got up early and was in the garden before 8, planted out the squash and set up trellises and supports for them and the cobra beans.

I'm in the shade now with a camping fan and lots of iced water, potting on and potting up and sowing some successions of carrots, peas, salads and another chilli pepper (havana gold, to replace my first one which hasn't really thrived like the others - the others are all flowering now!)

My windowsill sungold tomato has its first ones ripening now, just turning yellow. I'm so excited, I've never had tomatoes before August/Sept in the past. I also have a windowsill cucumber that grew up under grow lights, it's a mini one, and looks really healthy. If it thrives it will be my first ever cucumber that didn't die before fruiting! There are some little fruits on it already.

In other news, I've filled up the bird baths (one on the ground, two off the ground) three times today already! I'm going to have to stand there with the hose all day tomorrow I think!

Edit: Ooops forgot to post food! Porridge for breakfast, cream cheese lettuce boats with a couple of crackers for lunch, and I'll have some grilled sausages and chicken for tea with a salad.
