hmmm

Got on the scales this morning - I am now 4 kilos lighter - woo hoo.

This has inspired me to keep doing what I am doing.  Maybe, just maybe, I will get to my goal weight.

Garden update

Oohh, it looks like I have corn ears......  Not on me, silly, out in the front yard.  I checked them just before and it appears I have quite a few coming along.  Not sure how to tell when they're ready to pick - any suggstions???  Not every plant has female flowers just yet.  Some are only just getting their males flowers at the top.

And my tigrella tomatoes out the front are having slightly larger fruit than the one out the back too.  These were laying down all over the place, so I got some frames and put around them to lift the plants and fruit up off the ground.  I did manage to accidently break off 1 large stem with numerous fruit on it - oh well.  They still have flowers too, so that's promising.

The plant out the back looks like it's about done.  No more flowers and the fruit is quite small.  I guess the experiment with an upside down plant did not go so well.  Probably a lack of water and thus nutrients.

One of the dogs has been digging in amongst the roses - she's trying to find somewhere thats a bit cool to lie in.  If she doesn't stop this habit soon, she will dig up the poor things!  Been thinking it's time they got pruned, had compost put around them and then mulch laid down.  Dog will love that - all those good smells.
