I’ve been ignoring the garden for a few weeks now. I can say that I’m tired and fasting, but actually, I don’t really have an excuse for the neglect…

So today, as Jules cleared up the shed to fit in his exercise bicycle, I replanted the pak choi and pulled up some weed. Lots of weed! I had to dig deep to get to the roots. We have thistle problem… not due to a couple of weeks neglect, but a couple of years. It took us a few years before we did much around the garden.

With all the digging, I found lots of worms which I kept passing to Nora to keep her entertained and out of trouble. She loves playing with the worm… a bit too much as I caught her kissing a worm.

While I’ve been neglecting the garden, the slugs has had a feast! They’ve massacred my courgette and my garlic. Oh well… at least the lettuces and beetroots are  thriving. I think I will be having salad and fishcake for iftar as my starter.
