How does your garden grow?

Bedraggledly, in my case.

A warm summer again, they aren't sure about rainfall though.

My passionflower appears to be still alive, as does one currant plant and the gooseberry. I thought they were destroyed by falling fence but this is not the case. Must set up something for the passionflower to climb... and hope that when the fence does eventually get replaced, the currants and gooseberries don't get trodden on.

Chives are very happy. Rosemary has succumbed to whatever weird-ass rust it had, I think. Mint everywhere, of course. Other perennials looking mostly okay so far.

Drains are a mess. I might try to have a go at sorting them out later if there is time and I am not-sore enough. Somehow, household plumbing tasks fall to me no matter where I am. I'd really like to get a greywater thing that doesn't SMELL TO HIGH HEAVEN set up this year; I have a vague PLN for this but it requires application of funds. Bah.

Veg bed is full of weeds except in the bits I managed to cover. Need to sort out raised beds... I'm better able to bend than I was earlier in the year, but even a little bit of elevation will help a lot. Potatoes - I want to do a stack again, because it seems like the best way.

Haven't started any seeds yet at all. Not good!

Lots of dandelions; might make bright yellow soup out of the flowers at some point.

Ergohorn

My horn stick came today.

Due to the unique weirdassness charming manufacture design of my horn, I can't quite get the mounting plate at the centre of gravity - will have to do some balancing with my hands, still. I'd ask for a different plate to be made, but I don't see how I can attach it near the centre of gravity without messing up the valves or something.

However, balancing the horn is a completely different thing to having to hold the whole thing up all the time, and it feels much better. It will take some time to get used to, but so far, so good.

I might be able to get the plate a little closer to centre of gravity but not without buying some cable ties - they only supply one set, so you only get one go at attaching the thing. Thankfully cable ties are cheap as chips. Mmmmm.... chips. I should eat chips. Chips are good.

Right. Now back to making hairfalls - I'm mostly done.

MEME

Tell me one thing about me that you like or admire.
Then tell me two things about YOU that you like or feel proud of.
Then pass it on, if you feel like it.
