Happy, healthy young apple seedlings... and the ink-bottle for my fountain-pens!


A tangled tray of 'salad' waiting to form flower-buds (believe it or not, I did do some thinning-out, by the unorthodox route of removing the stronger specimens of each species!)


Results from the fine-as-dust seed that was left in the bottom of the packet, which I suspect will produce a different species mix





In further news, I have finished typing "A Family Man" and started work on the provisionally-titled "Meg Shoots the Phantom" -- which is definitely going to need a better title at some point!
It looks as if the latter story really is going to be a short one for once, which I think is partly due to the script-like presentation I've consciously adopted (present tense and third-person 'objective', hence no long digressions into backstory or characters' thoughts about other characters) and partly due to the constraints of the original model: as an alternate finale, my version needs to fit more or less back into the space occupied by the current scene. Even as it is, it's going to be a bit longer, I suspect...

If they're apple seedlings, plant them out asap. Trees establish best in situ as tap roots get damaged in pots.
