Not a bad little haul! 🥔

And behold! New fresh tatties!!
And they taste so good!!

🍅 Same Plant! One day apart! 🍅
I noticed these lovelies beginning to ripen so I gave them a little TLC
•Water and Feed
•Stripped off lower and excess leaves
•Gently rubbing the fruit (tickling with a paintbrush is best!)
•Assessed light and heat and adjusted positioning slightly
What a difference!
If your fruit doesn't seem to be ripening, try giving the plat a trim, strip off lower levels of leaves and excess leaves - they may be blocking the light and will be taking up nutrients unnecessarily 🍅

🐝Anyone else concerned about the lack of bees and butterflies this year....?🦋
I came across these thistles on my walk yesterday, while usually they would be littered in bumbles right about now, half were unopened!
Strange times, but hoping the bees are still out their, maybe they're still waking up?¿

Avo-can-do!🥑
Avocados are becoming a very popular food choice for may people due to it's high nutrient value, good fats and health properties!
I decided to try and grow my own (again), my first attempt at avocado growing wasn't all that successful, but I have learnt from that and LOOK!
We have a split and a sprout!
Excited for what's to come with this little guy......Roll on month 2!

What a journey this little one has been on!
Initially I was struggling to make this little one happy, I thought she was a lost cause, I decided to separate her from the group she was in and pop her in a glass jar.
SHE THRIVED!!
Within days the fullness was obvious in her leaves, old leaves were shed and new layers gained.
Then I started seeing small bunches on the sides!
I kept hopeful! 🤞🏻
A couple of weeks have now passed and this pup is almost ready for her own home!
