I am not Fishing (nor phishing) for followers. Just blogging my own plodding progress,(I have to call it something). There will be a book one day, before I drop off the perch, perhaps even some decent sound recordings, put up with my raw offerings, enjoy what you can. Comment if you like,be polite. Thank you for your interest....I.Wazir.

Indy Cool...
The sweet smell of Mint flowers and Tansy .Under the shade of a young Hazel tree. I'm glad you can't see me, I would only spoil the picture.
Tansy, good as a herb in omlettes. The leaves are said to deter fleas. We will test them on the chickens.
It's even cooler over there in the Figgy cave.You are welcome to sit and chill.Young fruits are growing fast. There will be an abundance of Figs this year.

One Eyed views is all you get here, an extreme form of social distancing. Not my favourite,enjoy if you can,regardless.
Long view, facing South.
A closer look.
Frais de Bois (wild Strawberries),elegant companion to Comfrey and Box.
Yellow Courgettes.
Anne-Sophie is the tidy one,it's a complimentary relationship. Straw mulch keeps the good stuff round the roots, the boxes protect Broccoli seedlings from the chickens.The strawberry border will soon come into it's main season. The newly prepared ground will be coveredwith a sowing of Coco Beans tomorrow.
Bottle cloches cover Cauliflower seedlings.
Leeks near ready for transplanting, they will likely be accommodated in the next bed down(up ?).
How are yours hanging...?
Brassicas newly planted and straw mulched, so too the clump of celery. The straw will get a light wetting.
A delight to a Coarse Gardener's eye, Look around, liking it is optional.

Merry Weather...
Tempting, tasty... It shouldnt take long to pick a punnet. Not many "food inches" to travel. The Thornless Blackberry lives just outside the kitchen door.
Chicory flowers look pretty enough in the sunshine. They glow in the evening light. There will be a small colony of seedlings left behind when the mother plant is spent and removed.
A not quite upright image, (never mind). In the foreground, Squash , seeding Swiss Chard and Calendula (marigolds).The sticks support another wall of Beans, More marigolds to the right. Onions drying on the plank.
Return of the Jungle.
Newly planted celery, arranged in a block, protected from both Easterly and Westerly winds, reducing chill factor. The temporary "fence, encourages upright growth, i.e. longer celery sticks.

I only know of two Con Aidiens, close exposure caused me to regret...
I will accept that I may have attracted by chance a more amenable "innocent" Con Aidien, I apologise if my suspicions are ill founded. Having been subjected to covertly narcissistic deceits and manipulations, violence and fraud. The chosen "Mark" for want of a better description of a pair of carpet bagging colonial badger gamers. I have to define in my own terms my personal view. Others may find them to be delightful people, I would be greatly surprised if the "liking" lasted.Wife of my first marriage and the husband of her first marriage are the people with whom I have justifiable dislike and distrust.
OOZE ZOO? Rodney and Dianne, Curtis Allen... The Players. The occasional view of my little blog by a Canadian shouldn't be of any major concern, every one is welcome to enjoy my postings (if you can). If you are unfamiliar with "letters sent", dip in by all means. I would expect from the singular interest from Canada, no less if they are strangers. My hunch is that a very specific Con aidien is monitoring , awaiting in fact the publication of a letter alleging sexual impropriety with my daughter, allegations which I insist are malicious and wholely unfounded. A moral and civil obligation has yet to be discharged by the collective perpertrators of the false allegations. Much harm has been done, permanent damage endured. I prevail.
The letter will be published, a leaf from my book, a warning to others perhaps. Having lost my family to an emotional terrorist,(no room for trivial Emojis in my world, let intended word meaning suffice), my home and my means of income,as well as the accrued benefit of twenty years of service and labour. All good will in my community slandered and denegrated. I have good reason in my view to rattle the wrong doers cage once in a while. No account for malignant action has as yet been forthcoming. Likely the familial conspiracy is still in the thrall of the principle dominant narcissistic personality, I once referred to her as the "Fat Controller". Dianne Mae write, but this time try not to lie. and try to make sense politely. I have record of all your correspondence. including your legal representations.
Speak up if you have a mind. you gleen little or naught by licking the images off the screen. I don't give a D.M. if you find my words offensive.
All other Canadians may like hate enjoy or ignore, regardless, you are all welcome to air your views. The fact that only one Canadian dips into this obscure corner of the Oblivion zone, causes me to wonder.
So...OO.D.L.R.U. ?...I.Wazir.
Just a few lines, I hope you are well.
It's difficult to keep up with the speed of natural progress; we try to stay ahead of the season.
Good companions.The pods don't stay blue when cooked, We will grow with the hope of harvesting the beans at full term.They will go well in the stew pot.
Bean Fest ,coming soon. I will be sowing more Coco beans tomorrow. If the weather is kind I will lift some potatoes.
Some flowers blown away by lashing gales. Plenty of pods already setting and swelling, lots more flowers on the way. We will harvest the lowest of the pods to avoid introducing fungus from the ground.
I had to get out of the direct sunlight. My brain felt as though it would boil. A rare chance view from this shady corner.
Our little Walnut tree...
Spot the nuts.
Yellow stick beans, we are eating our flll of these at present. There are several clumps and rows of these being grown for bottling.
Words may fail, Love remains to speak for itself.

Definition of "Free Speech"...
"Men Speak and Women Talk..."
Just taking the piss. Men do it standing up.
By Heck, I'm worried I may be developing a sense of humour.

My comment is unnecessary.... you are welcome to your own view.
Yellow uns...
Green uns...

Butternut plant grown four more inches in a day... Well I am impressed, someone has to be
.
A tangle of well bred goodness.
Universal Grace, is how your name came about. Ayup Emma Grace, I am glad I didn't call you "Pinky".
Thorns protect a vulnerable delicate flower...
I woudn't want to spoil it's Natural Beauty.
Capsicum peppers, Cabbage under cloches,wild seeding red Swiss Chard. Marigolds in the border. Hay mulch keeps the warmth and humidity to stay where they do most good. Around the roots
.
"And everything pretty, intertwined".
We'll have pumpkins.The plant is well sited between the beans and the Blue bins.
What's not to like...? We are doing the work. You are welcome to share at least some of the buzz. Drop in and lend a hand anytime or just relax.Switch your phones off.

I'm Smiling...By Jupiter!...
Greetings from Brittany, France.Disallowing myself the spurrious benefit of mask, jabs and covid passports on the grounds that submission to the various edicts and unlawful regulation would be against the best interest of my health, my life and in opposition to my liberty. I have always regarded resturaunts as a desperate uneconomic expedient. I have no trouble steering clear of any estabishment that insists on such deviant terms and conditions of service. That's not hospitality and it is certainly not civilized. Buying into the game, and using the bag of "merch" , a badge maybe, smart arse card perhaps, get yourself chipped up and registered for future experiments... Who knows?You still won't be safe from mutant variants of the current devil. Restaurant regulars may well become a vector of "exclusive" evolved varieties of virus. It will likely only effect folk who can't be bothered to learn to cook and give genuine hospitailty from their own home. I call our home cooking,"Food for Life". Both Madame and I like cooking. Most of what we eat, we grow. Weedem and Reap, ( sounds like a good firm...?)
A Big NON NON NON to Macron's marvellous idea. Do your worste. Our resistance is permanent. Malls are for the Maladjusted, interested in nothing but their own comfort and convenience. Diminishing returns for any business reliant on a Mall franchise. Malls seem likely perfect hot house breeding ground for new viral variants. I tend not to mix with the kind of people locked into he role of submissive camp followers on a breadcrumb trail. Masquerading as healthy. Jabber Wokies with a CoVid passport.Compliant , maleable, gullable collaborators. A kind of Vichy style neutrality self appeasing mutual ego massaging and virtue signalling that put France on it's knees to Nazi occupation, not so very long ago. Beware the resurgence of unreconstructed Pre W.W.2 Liberal Corporatism. We won't become more prosperous by pouring the hard earned stuff into overpriced product and service. The maldjusted may believe they have won a concession from Macron. Poor deluded fools. They should have backed the outsider.
More of this later.

Don't Stop NOW...All aboard for a happy homestead Harvest... Grow your own or pay the price.
Upwardly mobile...
Red turns to darkest purple.
What do we do for fun?... We live here.
It is difficult to keep up with Nature's enthusiasm for Life. The Reds are in the lead, sheltering a few Whites, at this end of the wall of beans. Red and White and pure Red make up the majority. There are a few straggling blue flowered specimens at the far end, looks like an almost obsolete variety. I won't interfere , I will give enough chances.

Take another peep...
Jumbo Garlic...
Good result... This one is due to be split up and replanted in October. Another plant is growing for seed.We have tasted and tried this good stuff. We are planning for long term abundance.
I'll give these garlic bulblets another two years before they are ready for harvest.
Healthy Hazels...
Haricots jaune...
Lavender makes a dramatic splash, better than fireworks. Colour and texture a bonus in any border.
In the background yellow stick beans. Newly planted Strawberry plants line the border of the first circle.
Next years beans are progressing well. Zoom in for details.
Come on Whitey...
Hollyhocks.
