Today we have peeled potatoes.... ones with long skinny white shoots....
We bought a sack of potatoes when we went shopping back in March ... the beginning of March before all this hit in.... when we didn't know that we would be bedbound for what seems a long time by covid19!!! Today we both felt a lot better (hurrah!!).
The potatoes are now shooting so we have peeled half of the bag this morning.... well DH did! I have boiled them, mashed them with plenty of butter, locked them into plastic bags and packed them into the freezer.... 8 servings so far....
DH has removed a rather large unwanted honeysuckle, the yellow invasive one, centre back in the photo..
He has also removed a rather large unwanted fuchsia, the plain old fashioned kind (don't panic...we took cuttings earlier in the year!) so we will have a nice patch to start replanting. 
I have quite a large selection of Heuchara on my plant theatre, so I am hoping to fill the bed with them.
In between I have been crosstitching, plod, plod, plod...
The week ahead looks far more interesting, cakes to bake, fence panels to paint, garden to mulch, new floor to lay in the chicken ranch, a sortof wall to build ..... busy busy.
I just pray that the weather holds and our health is good too.

Sounds like you are both feeling much better to achieve so much in the garden, good to hear. Our garden has been doing well this year, must have been all the rain in the Winter.
ReplyDeleteKeep safe and well Christine.
