I'm not the best of sleepers, so today, although starting at a decent time, started rather slow...but Nectarine conserve got finished...there was half a pint of water on the recipe that didn't get added...but so much juice came out overnight I don't think that it was needed!
After lunch I went round the garden aiming to make sure that there was nothing lying around that storm winds could have fun with!!
And fragrant Munstead Wood..two blooms on the bush, but about to drop their petals.
My sinuses and eyes are reacting to something..it isn't a "cold" as it isn't constant...I know what one of those is like although I haven't had one for a very long time. It is most tiresome.
And tomorrow we can say good morning to a storm....
Hope the storm isn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteI hope you keep safe during the storm.
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I bet those nectarine conserves are wonderfully delicious!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully arranged legs on that bug. Your roses are enviable. I suspect roses here would end up as possum food - it only takes one possum one night to devastate months of nurturing.
ReplyDeleteRoses grow so well in NZ.....but yes, if you are surrounded by possum country, the only place you could grow them would be a fruit cage!!
DeleteIt is nice, though, to cycle around the vinerys around Marlborough and still see the roses at the end of rows of vines...being the equivalent of the canary in the mine
The storm has just brushed past us here. I hope it bends around you 🤞
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem to be doing much bending at the moment....there are a few tree branches that have been hanging since the last storms here, I wouldn't be surprised to see them down this time
DeleteNectarine conserve, yum! It looks lovely in the jars.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice garden walk. It is so satisfying to see things setting on, isn't it?
Hope the storm isn't too bad.
Wishes for light storm damages...just clearing of deadwood. It's great to see all your garden productions, as well as nectarine conserves. Roses are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour nectarine conserve looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYour garden is looking good and providing a nice harvest.
Hopefully the storm and wind will not do too much damage.
That nectarine conserve does sound good. Good luck in the storm.
