Interesting. Last time I answered the aspie-test questions I had a huge spike towards neurotypical communication skills.
Two years of lockdown and social isolation have reduced that to a "barely passes for normal" stub. My journey towards being me seems to have taken a huge leap in the past 2-3 years, not necessarily in a beneficial direction.
Had a couple of hours free this morning (local public holiday) and finishes concreting/pebble-dashing greenhouse base so it's no longer a complete eyesore.
The hour outside required 4 large glasses of water to rehydrate then a quick cold shower to refresh. The temp here is around 29°C, instead of the melting death of 40°C plus expected just a couple of hundred miles away.
Admittedly anything above 18°C is considered hot in Scotland, and above 15°C inevitably results in topless sunworshipping.
Stay safe people, it's burning out there.

Can someone slap a weather reporter every time they talk about the weather being very hot as a good thing?
This is their chance to push the narrative about global warming and how an extinction event is happening now, instead of "enjoy the sunshine".
It is not fine.
I can't help going a bit Fawlty Towers when the wee one has letter-shapes food. Though I refrain from teaching her naughty words.
Oooh.
Now the beans and peas are gone I can see better what was behind them.
Tomatoes weren't a complete write off, there are a few plants that are actually producing something. Not the bucketful of tomatoes I envisaged when the plants started growing tall, but definitely a small crop will emerge.
First crops harvested from greenhouse, broadbean and garden pea.

I'm a bit disappointed. This won't exactly see us through the week, let alone the winter, and the pea pods are decidedly pale. The peas inside are ok (nutty but not sweet).

Tomatoes look like a complete bust - multiple big plants, tried 3 different varieties but not a single fruit. Think I left it too late to intervene with manual pollination.

On the plus side this was a first attempt with a greenhouse and a range of seeds to see what crops are worth growing here. I've learnt things as I went, and have seen better ways of doing things next time - not least how I should manage keeping all of the plants correctly watered.

Potatoes and carrots are in tubs outside, and I've got fair hope they'll produce well, as should the squash.

Any suggestions on a food crop to plant over the weekend for a late harvest?

Fuckaduck.
Four jabs (categorised as vulnerable), wear a mask in public, work virtually and have severely limited contact with people and I still got it.
#covid is not over whatever capitalist bastards might tell you.
