Clothing relief
6 April 2020 02:52 pmI discovered(!) three more shirts on the airer when I took down the washing -- one of them (the shortest in the tails) even having unfrayed cuffs -- thus averting the immediate emergency, and explaining how I could have failed to notice such a sudden crisis in my wardrobe. Though I still need to do some ironing.
After a couple of warm days I now look likely to have an excess of marigold seedlings, as another half-dozen or so have germinated. However, one of my four dill seedlings has suddenly flopped, the stem having gone through completely at the root -- this is what happened to all my dill last year, coming up happily enough and then dying abruptly before it was large enough to be of any use :-(
It's not slugs or frost, since this is the pot on the kitchen windowsill. Presumably damping-off.
