(094/365) On the left are 2 Orange & 1 Purple Chili pepper plants that I grew from seeds saved from last years' plants & on the right 5 Bell Pepper seedlings grown from packet seed. The purple seedling at the back is a bit stunted but it's the only one that germinated so I'll give it a chance. I'll pot them all on next week & put them out in the polytunnel now it's warming up a bit.
We have a fine crop of Lesser Celandines & Daisies on the front lawn, too wet to mow. The porch window is filthy but considering I only clean it once or twice a year that's hardly surprising HWW & HFF!
Ron's tomato seedlings in the "plant room", taken by Edgar. He will give most of them away and keep about six to plant.
Another attractive local variety, this is sometimes described as a cooking apple and sometimes as dual purpose, reputed to keep well. Raised from Annie Elizabeth x Dumelow's Seedling by W H Divers - Head Gardener at Belvoir Castle
There is a detailed article about the Head Gardeners at Belvoir, including Divers, here: thegardenstrust.blog/2023/09/23/belvoir-part-2-a-treat-fe...
Taken with Nikon Coolpix 995 on tripod. As a note: The seed on top of the seedling is approx. 1 mm. in diameter. I germinated these Common chickweed seeds to make a photograpical journey in the life of this species; this is the first picture and was taken 7 days after sowing. The seed right in the foreground is Scentless mayweed (Tripleurospermum inodorum)
Hurray...this is my first picture to be viewed over a 100 times! It was definitely the picture with the most effort put in.
This series is dedicated to my dear friend Bob, who I take care of here at the adult care home. He just had a setback, mini strokes that have stolen his strength. He is a wonderful man, who loves nature as I do, and has spent many years camping and mushrooming in these mountains. Yesterday he was at the Emergency room most of the day, and now he is very weak and uncoordinated. It breaks my heart to see him confused and struggling... so I brought him in a squash shell I found in the compost that had every seed sprouting with determination, and I told him he just needs to be stubborn like a squash! All around this sqaush shell, the compost was turning into dirt, but this collection of seeds was determined to grow rather than become food for other plants. I think every seed in the gourd has sprouted, and so I have replanted it into a place that it can go ahead and grow. It will be interesting to see how many of these seedlings actually become plants, how many survive. It is always heartwarming to see when my elders fight against the pitfalls of old age and ill health and move forward in a positive direction! I learn so much from watching these 79-92 year old folks!
Fas große Rennen ...
Die Kindergartenkinder besuchen wieder die Kartbahn
an der Pfannkuchen Mühle, doch ehe es auf die Bahn geht,
schauen sie sich zuerst die Speisekarte an,
um sicher zu sein, dass für ihren Appetit nach dem Rennen,
die Auswahl auch groß genug ist ...

Planting seedlings with a quality potting mix, seaweed concentrate and fertiliser will make sure these grow into healthy and thriving plants...
My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
Near Exmouth on our way to Relubbus where we are staying two nights.
A La Ronde is an unusual 16-sided house built by two cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter, in 1796. The cousins were inspired by a grand tour of the European continent and created this striking house looking out over the Exe estuary. The interiors contain mementoes collected by the two women, and feature unusual decor, including a 'feather frieze', and a gallery lined with shells. The latter chamber is so fragile that visitors must view it on closed-circuit television.
The story of the Parminters and their travels reads like something out of an adventure romance novel. We know some details of the Parminter Grand Tour, as Jane Parminter kept a journal. The first six weeks of a transcription have survived, and give a colourful account of their journey through France. There were initially four women on the tour; Jane, her sister Elizabeth, their cousin Mary and a friend.
The four women visited Versailles and saw Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (at a distance), and engaged in the 18th century equivalent of a whirlwind tour of Paris before travelling to the Dijon region, where they visited such diverse places as schools, churches, gardens, and hospitals.

A few weeks ago I decided to sow some basil in a planter. I'm not much of a green thumb - if anything, I'm the opposite (what some call a "black thumb") 😅 But the other day I noticed some very little and very cute basil leaves coming up from the earth and they haven't stopped growing ever since. As much as I love them, I suspect that's been happening not because of my best efforts to not let them wither, but in spite of my efforts... 😋
Há algumas semanas, decidi semear manjericão num canteiro. Não tenho grande jeito para plantas - na verdade, acontece o oposto 😅 Mas no outro dia reparei em algumas folhinhas de manjericão muito pequenas e fofas a brotar da terra e não pararam de crescer desde então. Por muito que as adore, suspeito que isso esteja a acontecer, não por causa dos meus melhores esforços para não as deixar murchar, mas apesar dos meus esforços... 😋
This tiny seedling growing out of one of the old railway sleepers used as edging of a raised border. We may never know what it is as winter sets in.
As a quiet little seedling
Lay within its darksome bed,
To itself it fell a-talking,
And this is what it said:
"I am not so very robust,
But I 'll do the best I can;"
And the seedling from that moment
Its work of life began.
So it pushed a little leaflet
Up into the light of day,
To examine the surroundings
And show the rest the way.
The leaflet liked the prospect,
So it called its brother, Stem;
Then two other leaflets heard it,
And quickly followed them.
To be sure, the haste and hurry
Made the seedling sweat and pant;
But almost before it knew it
It found itself a plant.
The sunshine poured upon it,
And the clouds they gave a shower;
And the little plant kept growing
Till it found itself a flower.
Little folks, be like the seedling,
Always do the best you can;
Every child must share life's labor
Just as well as every man.
And the sun and showers will help you
Through the lonesome, struggling hours,
Till you raise to light and beauty
Virtue's fair, unfading flowers.....
