Monday 18th March

I've been pottering in the garden for three days in a row! There have been enough dry and sunny minutes today for me to do just a few little bits outside.

On Saturday I pulled up the last of the carrots and sowed seeds into paper pots.

On Sunday I cleared the weeds from some of the the patio tubs in preparation for getting the vegetable patch going again, and also picked enough rainbow chard to make a shallot/celery/green bean/ chard medley to go with our lunch.

Today I prepped all the carrots and tipped them into the little crock pot along with an onion, celery, a couple of bayleaves and some stock. We now have a couple of portions of soup for now and later. I had a sprig of rosemary in a vase, which I brought indoors about a week ago because the flowers were so pretty. When I lifted it out if the vase to add some of it to the crock pot I discovered it had grown a lot of little roots. 

I took it into the garden and planted it in a pot. Then I picked a couple more pieces of rosemary and also some lavender to see if I can repeat the magic.

DECLUTTERING 

I had added another 20 or so music teaching books to the stack to be passed on to another piano teacher tomorrow. 

My Cunning Plan regarding the craft stash needs refinement. I have accidentally increased it, by ripping out a scarf that I never liked. Now I have Added a ball of yarn, not helpful!
