Twisted carrots

There’s no particular reason for posting these photos of deformed carrots except for interest. Go on, mock my gardening failure!!

I have no idea why they grew this way, the soil isn’t stony, it wasn’t over manured and carrots in the adjacent row (a different variety) have grown long and straight. So, if you have any ideas, let me know. Otherwise just laugh at my disaster … it doesn’t happen very often!

How did they taste? Have you dared eat them?

I think they may be that way due to root-knot nematodes.

The upside to being awake since 6am - drinking coffee in the garden and enjoying this view - buzzards soaring, a robin singing, goldfinches squabbling over the bird feeder!

A throwback to May on the Isle of Lewis. So much has happened since then. Friends lost, family "admin", exciting and daunting future plans. I have often felt overwhelmed, but looking back at our holiday photos has reminded me what's really important: friends, family and breathing fresh air! #thenaturefix #thenaturecure #dailywalk #theoutdoorsfix

Today @victoriabaths . The pool was filled with water, all we could hear was laughter & people sharing memories of childhood swims. Of course the flamingo stole the show! After a very difficult week, spending an hour in the pool with my two favourite women really lifted my spirits. Thankyou to all the staff and volunteers for making today happen - Manchester friends - it's worth checking the #vbswim2019 hashtag to see this amazing building - they do tours every week (though sadly pool is empty except on rare occasions)

I only popped into @we_are_okells to buy onion sets - but I couldn't resist these! Now sitting in a large tub in my front garden being mobbed by bees and hoverflies!

Damp & dreary Monday banished now I've found a Peter May book I haven't read. You can always rely on @thenewbookshop to come up trumps! I do love this shop & all the friendly staff xxx

Lone poppy doing it's thing despite the rain! I love how these have self seeded in unexpected places! #girlgardener #cuttinggarden #ladieswhogarden #gardeningmakesmehappy #happygardener #inmygardentoday
