Its quite cold outside this morning. There's no frost, but a very heavy dew and when daybreak comes I'll be keen to see if it looks like we might get some rain.
I sneaked out early and pinched some herbs and tomatoes from the last poor little bushes and now they're in a pot with last seasons dried beans and some garlic and celery - I'm hoping they make a lovely baked bean dish which is great with Paul's sourdough bread.
It's Jamie Oliver's recipe - I've forgotten my old one. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Glorious morning!
Warm and lovely, but quite windy.
Joss's hollyhocks are going in today (not a great germination rate yet - these came up very early.) They're going under the olive trees to start with,, and when I know what colour they are (in a year or two) the others might go in by the front door :)
Today is Tuesday, which is Water The Raspberries day. The little sweetpeas I put in as Jonathon suggested by Paul's office are on their way up (I'll water them, too) but there is still no sign of the beans. At least - there is - they're just lying there, being beans. Those climing tomatoes, on the other hand are sprouting up among the stones. I'm going to rescue a coupls just in case the others drown under the lucerne mulching we did.
Two pea pods (both on the massey peas).
Also
Paul handspread 100 k of gypsum on the lawns (400sqm) - and watered it in.
We hear there are nasty fires in Sydney, and temps of 30+. Here it's windy and warm, but pleasant. Our yellow Builder told us not to light any fires, though. I think he suspects that we're stupid city people. He's probably right.
