    Hi. Thankyou for taking us along your plot, it's looking very good. Nice little e harvest. Do you roast or steam your veggies? They say roasted turnips are delish, although it depends on taste really.

    Lovely to see you smiling and finding the joy in the garden. I think one of the most fun things about gardening is trying veggies etc you haven't before. Best case scenario you have a new food you like... worst case scenario you've got more material to go on the compost and help future crops.

    One possibility for the nerdy compost-fixated gardener (me!) is to dig up the grass, weeds etc and stick them in the compost bin. I buy tons of compost too but I figure it's an investment in my soil😂

    I'm really looking forward to seeing the new plot in full bloom... and the before and after shots (which I'm sure will be amazing!). I did some weeding today and I can give you some (really pretty obvious advice to smart people)... don't do chop and drop with rose bushes. I thought it would be all nice to just drop the cut pieces into the garden bed... let them rot down. They don't rot down that quickly and I forget they are there... when grabbing at some weeds to pull out... thorns can be quite nasty! I'm sure you're smart enough to avoid that... it's just nonces like me who make that mistake. I think your cardboard covering is very similar to the way many people do it which is cover the whole area then cut hole into the cardboard and plant through that... should be about the same result... it looks lovely either way. A quick search for owl names suggested "Owl Pacino" which I quite like ;)

    Owl Pacino 😂 I love the plot extension and cannot wait to see the flowers for your wedding next year. It’s going to look amazing. I’d like more cutting flowers next year I think. It’s such a joy to harvest your own bouquets and bunches of flowers are extortionate at the moment to buy anyway .. so a fab idea.

    Great progress Emma .Do you really need edging on the flower beds ? Just add handfuls of chicken pellets to the beds and when you plant out plant the seedlings with a handful of multi purpose each .Much cheaper than covering the whole beds .I grow on rock hard clay and it's amazing how fast the soil loosens up using this method after a year or so 🙂

    That Echinacea looks very strong, lovely thick stems. I've actually got some Delphinium seeds in front of me here "Pacific Giants" apparently... I think it's too cold here for me to try starting them yet... but I do look forward to them adding some more height around the garden. Quick question re the blood donation... what's it like after donating ie can you drive home etc? I'm open to donating but a bit nervy about it (I was excluded from being able to for a long time as we spent a year in England in 1982 when the creutzfeldt-jakob disease was about... but that restriction has been lifted now).

    You could have done white chocolate and raspberry :D Apparently there's a thing called "weaponised incompetence"... I suspect that's a bit harsh... I think the trick is, as a couple you figure out what each of your strengths are and work with those. I'm a terrible do nothing person... well... mostly. I'm a full time carer for my wife and stay at home dad for my children so there's making sure they are all doing ok... making dinner and trying to make the garden look nice and be productive (that's new to me... I've only really been getting into it over the last three or four years). Occasionally I get inspired and do projects (and often don't finish them). I have a home made arcade machine (emulator powered)... that's basically complete though it would be nice to have a flashy marquee thingie on the top. I have a 3D printer I designed which is close to finished but needs some work. I have the projector which is also close to finished (at least this version... might need to upgrade to proper 4K... it's only 2K and needs to be run through a PC to turn the screen the right way around)... other bits and pieces... my sound booth needs work too.
