gardening (16 out of 57)
- Concluded walking to St Andrews from Dysart: day 3 Anstruther to Kingsbarns; day 4 Kingsbarns to St Andrews. Four days of walking, with a couple of mornings waiting out rain, no particular hurry, and wild camping among the dunes.
- Plants were still okay when I got back. A new chilli sprouted! Dave harvested the third flush of oyster mushrooms, which were ready while I was away.
- Did mostly internal Co-op stuff.
- Weather got really warm again at the end of the week. Cue gardening and more time on the beach.
- Made mushroom things and fancy tarts.
- The cloud garden.
- Weather got back to gorgeous (with intermittent showers/hail).
- Third flush of mushrooms is looking more promising!
- Lost quite a bit of basil and some of the parsley, and relocated bok choy isn't looking very happy. Rhubarb has come to life, and chard are growing fast. Moved my chillis to warmer climes (aka the polytunnel down the road) for a while.
- Bought kale, leeks, lettuce and more cucumbers from Kirkcaldy Garden Center.
- Found a big plastic crate on the beach. I'm sure this'll come in handy.
- Dad came for one night to scope the bathrooms situation. And helped me to acquire a sink and cupboard unit from Freegle.
- Conducted many flapjack experiments, and made seven crumbles. Made lots of focaccia at the Community Kitchen.
- Caught up on Standards Lab.. ish.
- Had a survey for an air-source heat pump.. will find out in a couple of weeks if I've been accepted onto the scheme.
- Finally got the holes in my bedroom walls and ceiling plastered up!
- Started walking to St Andrews, with no network connection and logs turned off.. Day one was Dysart to Dumbarnie; day two was Dumbarnie to Anstruther.
- One bag of mushrooms yielded one clump. The other bag tried and failed :(
- Too much bok choy sprouted, trying to spread it around. Repotted a ton of basil that grew from seeds. Salvaged the stray tomato that sprouted at the base of the avocado plant and potted it up.
- Most of the replacement cucumbers I bought from B&Q look like they aren't going to survive, for unknown reasons.
- Apple cake, rhubarb crumble, and other things.
- Made many omelettes in the Lang Spoon kitchen. Been about 6 years since I cracked an egg..
- Started making decisions about bathrooms, changing my mind, acquired some stuff.
- TAG not-face-to-face from early mornings to late evenings, with Co-op in between. Somehow.
- Recovered with a fantastic weekend of gallivanting. Went around the coast to Elie and Pittenweem, bought a wetsuit, swam in the sea pool, visited interesting little shops; rescued an excellent bath from the dump and rehomed it in K's garden; then 'helped' with clearing ivy of her shed roof.
- The kayak finally came! I can't lift it myself.
- Finally watched the 1984 Dune movie (over two nights). I quite enjoyed it, though I can see how to people who haven't read the books it is probably completely incoherent.
- I'm still slogging through Mentats of Dune.

First vandalism of my garden yesterday. Someone tried to yank off some rhubarb. They failed, but partly detached the stem and wrecked the leaf.

I just caught a slug on my orchids because I heard it chomping, over various not insubstantial background noises.

Rate of orchid decimation has finally decreased from 2-3 slugs per day to 0-1 slugs per day.

My latest mushroom pins have all aborted, my sourdough starter went mouldy in the fridge, and I rescued my inside tomato from a giant slug this morning.
