.....after a downpour that's lasted since yesterday, things are getting a little damp....

I've said this before, but will say it again, I much prefer cold and dry to this warm and wet autumnal weather....makes life very soggy....

....put next year's garlic on to sprout today....

These are from our own homegrown garlic, so I know they do quite well in our soil here....

Just sat on a glass of water until they root and shoot and then I'll pot them up in the greenhouse.....

....i won't post in as much detail about the garlic this year, if anyone is interested, the details of last year's garlic sprouting start here:-

If anyone uses candles, especially pillar candles. Save all your stubs of wax . I made 8 candles yesterday from saving wax . When the clocks go back on Sunday, we'll get through two of these a week . I've often thought, that there should be a massive wax collection,after Christmas, to re use everyone's wax . Mostly it gets thrown in the bin . !
