Just pottering
Well-shaded bonsai against the fence. Peppers and chilis in the foreground. How's the summer going for you? I haven't been up to much, but thought I'd post anyhow – if I'm going to improve my blogging, I'm going to have to write something . To be honest, it's been too hot to do much. I have not been a fan of the heatwaves, and that's putting it mildly. Can't sleep, so I'm tired and grumpy, and my ankles puff up alarmingly. I've been reluctant to leave the house at all. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the garden, and ways to make it less heat-affected in future. Certain things in the garden really don't like the weather; we ended up buying extra parasols to make sure Mr Robot's bonsai didn't bake in the sun, though the cats seem to appreciate the additional shade too. One idea is to grow more heat-loving things. I grow tomatoes every year, but I'm getting good peppers this year too, and hopefully the chilis will come on...
