Tomato strings

I have been rigging up tomato-strings for the benefit of the towel-tomatoes (thus covering my hands with yellow -- I'd forgotten tomatoes did that!)( Read more... )

The Demon Red chilli finally managed to outgrow its initial yoghurt-pot, and I have repotted it into a larger pot using compost retrieved from the various pots I have been emptying, including the gone-to-seed pak choi, from which I was able to harvest a little seed, but not nearly as much as I had been expecting (an awful lot of those seed pods turned out to be empty, and some of them were hosting caterpillars!)

Further edit

It seems that the situation is currently analogous to what initially happened when FFnet started blocking access; I'm getting intermittent blinks of access, which then disappear again. I managed to upload one of my old POTC fics (nothing whatsoever like a vanishing window of opportunity for getting things done!) and evacuate "Appraisal", "A Thing of Value" and "For Valentine". I should be able to upload the other two POTC fics with a bit of luck, but on past precedent I'm not counting on this intermittent situation lasting for all that long. I suppose I ought to do a massive push to try to upload *all* the twenty-five or so other stories that I never managed to 'synchronise'... <groan>
