Better late than never

 We went to the community hall and café this morning to finalise arrangements for Sunday..and to celebrate what would have been Pirate's 85th birthday with a long black and a chocolate muffin ❤️ 

Then on to Maybole, the nearest town to speak to people we knew well when we lived in Kirkmichael.

This is a view over the Girvan valley from across the main street 

This afternoon I realised that the garden is steadily growing..a lot later than others..but slowly getting there...



A case of Must Do Better Next Year..but thankful for what I am getting this year!

I have been discussing with my brother how to insulate my workshop ready for the winter...he has done a lot of the work on his home so has a lot of knowledge and skills..

We get the tape measure out tomorrow!

I hope all goes well with the insulation.

It's nice that you are celebrating Pirate, I don't think I met him while you were here last but he sounds like a very cool guy.

My winter garden got off to a bad start. We and a burst of summer weather and it all bolted and went straight to seed. I have replanted. But as yet we have not harvested. I’m hoping for a late harvest at least.
Even the poor plants don’t know what’s going on with this crazy weather.
Can’t wait to see your work space once it all set up

Your garden is more advanced than ours. The only crop that is doing well at the moment is our little apple tree.

It's good to see progress in your garden GZ. There is still lots of winter crops that can be planted like kale, swedes, Autumn King carrots, leeks, spring cabbage and winter onions.

Great to start insulating the studio so you can work there in winter weather! Your plants are producing better late than never, it seems.

Your Sunday celebration will be a lovely tribute. Insulation will be very helpful and you are lucky to have help/expertise for the job.

You have lots of projects in the works! I think the garden looks pretty good, all things considered.

Dave I might go for some brassicas...I have only seen one cabbage white butterfly this year...hardly any others too.

Sending all good wishes that events on Sunday go well and just as you hope and wish.
