I had a really good surprise this week where I was nominated to win an award from a local awarding body in the hair and beauty industry. I am currently self-employed as a beauty therapist and I started my own business in October but I had to take a small step back when my cars gearbox failed. (My poor sage)
Anyway, this was a really nice surprise to win best New talent for my beauty business! So to celebrate, I will be meeting up with the other winners to have a glass of champagne and to receive my certificate ☺️

I hate how my laugh sounds in this 🤣 I wasn’t expecting the hat to get stuck on her face. Her ears don’t fit in his hat at all 🍓👒

We have had three lots of hailstones this week south of the UK on the Isle of Wight, so I’ve been reluctant to put my sweetcorn out and I’ve been watching closely on local Facebook groups to make sure that I get my timing right.

I did however decide to test how my courgettes and squash would do in a raise bed covered with a fleece at the The plot.

They’ve been doing well! And I’ve added Sage in there to repel any pests.

I plan to add so much more in the long raised bed I want to plant with plenty of crops and flowers

I can’t wait to see it jampacked full of produce! (I hope) but I have to wait a little longer!

as you can see my sweetcorn and tomatoes are grown well at home!

Other seats I have started this week at Home are;

Broccoli (the last lot got eaten)
Strawberries (I’m trying one more time!)
Gooseberry
Cucamelons
Mustard
Onions (again!)
Rhubarb
Pumpkins
Cosmos
Zinnias
Kohlrabi
Artichoke
Red lettuce
Alyssum
Sweet pepper (I’ve had rubbish germination)
Marjoram
Sorrel
And celery! 🌱🌱
