This morning some of my carrots were showing their heads so pulled a few out...
Hmm rather knarly!!
After a clean up and grated into a salad you'd never know ;-)
Curly carrot, lettuce cucumber & clementine salad for lunch today :-) I'm saving the tops to make a carrot top & mint pesto tonight. On researching the curious shapes of my harvest I discovered 2 mistakes - the first i suspected was not deep enough soil in my no dig, they probably hit the cardboard layer before it had decomposed. However I also discovered you should always seed carrots and thin where they are going to grow, which i didn't! i bought them in trays ready grown to transplant and seems i may have left them too long before it did. Lesson learned !
Yesterday I had the sheer delight of having my Grandaughter round to play. I remembered i had some self hardening clay (NewClay) in the shed. The amazing thing about it is that i bought this nearly 20 years ago and my children played with it! It was still usable and we had fun making hearts and decorating them with leather tool stamps (which i also had in a drawer somewhere) We're going to paint them next week :-)
Now for the coat story...A couple of years ago I saw a really gorgeous coat on Pinterest. I thought hey I could make one like that! So I did. I used a denim jacket from a charity shop, cut the bottom third off and then made a skirt to attach from a few dresses & skirts that i wasn't wearing anymore. I love this coat because its a 100% upcycle, as in i didn't have to buy anything to make it. I also love swanking about in it which i will do today :-)
