Windy but bright up here, the garden looks like it might need watering later, dare I say we have had no rain for a week............................................(that's torn it)

Had a wander on a rather misty day to the nearby Aberdeenshire coast, a short video with sound.

Been a drab day today with a bit of light rain, got jobs done in the greenhouse and did a bit of pond watching in between the showers, there's one of our Black current bushes to dig out, no signs of life it it sadly, I also noticed the Pink Fir Apples are growing, tops just coming through, we do lik...

I think in my part of Scotland summer is usually the last week of June...........................................................

Cooler day so got a bit of gardening done as well as a three mile walk round the village fields and lanes. Lots of wildlife, so I may go back with a camera. Tomatoes are in their final places, though a lot of left overs that will end up in pots or with neighbours, some more peas planted that were st...

Been fishing, didn't catch anything, but another step in my recovery, though I have more surgery pending, will be glad when they fix me though.

You can't eat them, but they lift the gloom on a foggy autumnal like day..........................

Thanks, it's getting a decent day to be outside, can't get this gear wet, so hid in a bird hide for a couple of hours, hoping for a Beaver or an Osprey and neither showed up, oh well, that's nature filming.

Bright and breezy with a bit of warmth from the sun, potted the chillies and peppers on into their final pots, now hopefully tucked up warm in the greenhouse.

Can't see a thing up here, thick fog, Autumn has arrived I think.

Apparently it's the Oxalic acid that cause the problem with rhubub, though I do have a recipe for wine where you use a crushed Campden tablet to nullify that, but just don't bother now.

Raining up here too today. I gave up trying to grow rhubub in my thin coastal sandy soil, I used to make wine with it years ago, made a lovely Rose type too, it has adverse effects on my joints now, arthritis setting in so I don't eat it now.

Frost overnight still restricting outside activity up here, only 2 degrees inside the greenhouse, not very Spring like.
