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.

Prints from the garden.

Early morning activity - I'm not the only one enjoying the dahlias! #girlgardener #girlswhogarden #inmygardennow #cuttinggarden #flowergarden #ladieswhogarden #gardenersofinstagram #gardeningmakesmehappy

This is where I sit in the mornings and drink the first cuppa of the day, watch the birds, despair at the mess the badger has made of the lawn and the divots where the squirrel has buried the hazel nuts ... and now added to the list: wondering why we're selling up and moving on - I have loved making this garden!

Friday 20th September. Global action, protests, marches, all kinds of events happening. Join in, make your voice heard, or if you still need convincing the time for action is now, just go along and listen. Hope our global leaders will do more than hang their heads in shame.

Two Nuthatches visited while I was eating my breakfast - they often come down on to the patio, but don't stay still for long - first time I've managed to grab a not too blurry picture before they fly away!

Putting my feet up and enjoying late summer's beauty. I've just picked the last of the peas and I'm about to plant onion sets. Today I'm wearing a jumper bought from a charity shop paired with socks knitted from left over scraps & 15 year old jeans patched with a piece of old wool blanket - very hard wearing! It would have been easy to throw those wool scraps away, or bin my torn jeans, but that goes against all my principles. I am proud to wear clothes that are patched and mended, jeans that have grown old with me and share the story of a life well lived. There's a link in my profile to a post I wrote about what we're doing as a family to reduce our environmental impact if you're interested. #lovedclotheslast #30wears #imademyclothes #visiblemending #toeupsocks #notbuyingnew #secondhandseptember #extinctionrebellion #nomorefastfashion #changewhatyoudo
