I put wires in the pole bean row so they can climb up to the cattle panels, transplanted more basil to a pepper bed and a bunch into the strawberry bed, and I saw the oldest cucumber plants that were a bit stunted from bad potting mix have their first blossoms, and they seem to be actually growing ok.

Where’s Basil? – On Pont Neuf, Toulouse, with the Dôme de la Chapelle Saint-Joseph de la Grave in the background- Brown Bear’s Big Day Out

Basil on the pedestrianised Pont Neuf in Toulouse, France on a nice summer’s day.

Brown Bear’s Big Day Out is a story about a bear in a zoo that puts on a disguise so that he can escape and visit a funfair called Dizzyland. It’s about looking at people in depth and not being afraid because they look different from you. So Basil looks like a man when disguised but is still the same friendly and hero bear in this case once his disguise slips.

The story contains illustrations throughout the text. These are then repeated at the back of the printed book so that younger children can colour them in. One of them can be seen below.

The book is available globally from Amazon in both printed and ebook formats. This is the .co.uk link, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brown-Bears-Big-Day-Adventures/dp/1980868859/, and this is for .com, https://www.amazon.com/Brown-Bears-Big-Day-Out-ebook/dp/B086DSF5N7/.

I dug up the corms in the Saffron bed to divide, share, and replant. Mixed in more compost and planted the lemony basil seedlings. I think they will be very happy!

The Saffron will start coming up again in late August and early September.

Balcony Garden 2026 says hello. 🥰

This year we have returning awesome trio (Basil, Thyme and Oregano) and two great premieres: Balcony Tomatoes, which I am very looking forward to see how they will come out aaaand lovely Dahlia, which I never had before.

The scent of herbs is wonderful and looking at all the plants brings a lot of happiness into my heart.

Thinly slice potatoes and sweet potatoes. Toss with olive oil and onion powder. Roast until crispy.
Chop red onion. Add to pan with oil and cook till translucent. Add tomatoes and beans. Add spices and salt to taste. I added a squirt of liquid sweetener to replicate the taste of readymade sauces.
Assemble with crispy potatoes in place of nachos.
I served it with iceberg lettuce and wraped spoonfuls in lettuce leaf parcels for a crunch.
I also sprinkled #saeurkraut on mine.
