Ah! I have a tunnel to prepare and see how the beetroots in the other one

the hen house could use some painting... I guess. No?

Yes, I'm a bit like that at the moment, with the house on the
market, I am reluctant to finish the autumn digging, or plant
any crops. Keeping the worst of the weeds down and mowing the
lawn (or moss field) is about as far as I go.

I do have a splendid display of hyacinths this year. Each year
I plant out the flowered indoor forced hyacithins into a bed
beside the patio and they all seem to settle dow - but
strangely most of the ones that are now flowering are blue,
with only about 25% of other colours. Wondering if blue is
their natural colour and some have reverted.
