Monday: Minimalist Blip

Woke up feeling refreshed after a good night’s sleep - sun shining, love early mornings before it gets too hot.
Took advantage of the coolness to do an urgent job in the greenhouse: removed bottom leaves on the large tomato plants, mulched them with grass mowings then gave them a good watering with homemade “comfrey tea” added - should give them a boost :-))
Outdoor tomatoes were watered, the courgette was given same treatment as greenhouse tomatoes - I’ve made a big mistake this year and planted them in too much shade, thought it wise choice at the time but next year …!!
I was looking out of the upstairs window and so happy to see about 2 dozen seagulls gliding around above us and over the farmland across the main road, think I spotted a black-headed gull too and a similar number of swallows/house martins - it’s a shame that what used to be a common sight is now so rare :-((
I was so busy watching the birds soaring and gliding that I suddenly came to my senses and took a photo … almost too late …
Collected ripe seed of Hesperis matronalis which I’ll add to this year’s collection for the Cottage Garden Society Seed Swap, seed may have come from there to begin with!
