Cather asking the real questions here:

— Father Joseph frowned intently at the earthen pot in the middle of the table. His pale, near-sighted eyes had always the look of peering into distance. "C'est ça, c'est vrai," he murmured. "But how," he exclaimed as he filled the Bishop's plate again, "how can a man make a proper soup without leeks, that king of vegetables? We cannot go on eating onions for ever."

Time for a coffee! I've got a whole #chicken cooking covered with chopped #potatoes, #carrots, #leeks, #swede, #courgette, #mushrooms, #garlic, #celery, bay leaf, mixed #herbs & chicken stock. I'll use the carcase to make a chicken #soup with the leftover veg in the fridge tomorrow.

My very talented Alan has created a made to measure protective #cage for our little #rockery to save our house #leeks from the attentions of the #blackbirds and #pigeons who love pecking them to bits. It's easy to lift on and off when I need to weed it & I'm chuffed to bits with it 😀

Gave away some more perennial leeks yesterday (they had set themselves in the path from dropped bulbils).
My fiendish plan of supplying the whole of Fife (and as far beyond as I can) with perennial veg continues!

Mwahahaha etc

I’m out of bulbils, having given them all away already.

Wisst ihr, was mich richtig glücklich macht? Im #Garten zu arbeiten. Habe heute Salatsetzlinge vereinzelt, #Blumen gesät + entweder #Lauch, #Zwiebeln oder #Knoblauch vereinzelt. Sät sich alles selbst aus, deswegen verliere ich ab + an den Überblick.
Was macht euch so richtig glücklich?
I love #gardening. Replanted little #lettuces, #leeks, #onions or #garlics today. Nt really sure as they're allowed to self-seed + then I forget where I had what.
What fills you with #happiness?
My friend's little allotment was looking much as I had left it on Tuesday (So much for my visiting everyday, eh?! 😊). On first looks I didn't think the leeks I sowed (23/04/26) were showing yet, but on closer inspection.. 🙌 #allotmentgardening #allotments #gardening #vegetables #leeks #kent #england

Found a
b leech!!
Actually 4... two went in my pond, one in a fish tank behind the shed, one in the neighbour's pond! Dug a couple of shovelful to start cleaning the ditch and found them a foot down in the river clay...

Yay!

Pinto beans starting to sprout, moved a dozen leeks outdoors, two cauliflower to a larger container and plucked some weeds. Also relayed the pond cover...
