Oooppps

Doh! We meant to go to the HE group today, but we got diverted.
The HE group used to take place in a very dismal building, and I could rarely summon up the enthusiasm to attend. However, things change and the powers that be decided that said dismal building will be a childrens centre (!!!), so the HE group has to find a new home.
Last week we went to a very nice park with old trees, a play area and an indoor space. This week I believe it was at a community centre, but as we never made it, I don't know!
Next week is another new venue, but I think I'm working so we might not make that one either.
Still we managed to stock the cupboards and then we did a bit of gardening.

This is our new raised vegetable bed. We have a row of Radishs coming up and further back a row of Lettuces, we are still waiting for the beetroot and carrots. Lots of strawberries too.
We have beans growing in the conservatory ready to go in later and we planted up our tumbling tomato plants into a basket earlier. I think I'll bring it in the house during the evening for a while, as I think (but being a total novice, I'm not sure) that its early for them to be out. However, they are close to flowering, so I thought the insects outside would be a good thing.
Our free potatoes are beside them. No signs of them popping out the top of the bags yet.

Our pond, about 6ft by 6ft. Currently swarming with tadpoles and some kind frog has laid more frogspawn for them to eat!!

I sometimes feel like a 2nd class citizen at some of the HE venues--I avoid most of them like the plague!
