I’m keeping the photo-heavy, content-lite direction of the blog this week; not intentionally though, for I have a lot to say, just not enough time to write. Besides that, my brain is quite full of my offline projects.

However my grandparents (Hi Nan! Hi Pop!) are quite keen to see how my garden planting went and so I shall oblige by showing them (and you).

Garden after weeding and new planting

Along the back we have four tomatoes (2 x romas and 2 x cherrys). Hiding behind the grill that is protecting the world’s laziest strawberry is a basil plant. In the middle row is a chili and a beetroot that is obscured by the shadow.

Also, here are my lavenders (the French kind, I believe, but feel free to correct the mistake if I’ve made it)
