Where are you? I'm in the UK and we are expecting a heatwave too

I'll check that now, I didn't actually know that 🤣

Yes, they still look good. I've been changing the water every couple of days and they don't seem to be suffering, they look as good as when I cut them from the bush.

I'll try that, tha nks. I've had my fuscia cuttings in water for 2 weeks now and nothing happening. This is what happens when you Google stuff 😂

I didn't know you could get blonde raspberries 🤔 I've taken cuttings from my fuscia bush and am trying to get them to root so I can plant them further along my border. I haven't put hormone on them though just put them in water. Would I be better adding rooting hormone do you think?

Oh your berries look lovely 😋

Oooh good, I can't wait for mine to start fruiting !

Yes that's a fuscia in the background. I hope its not too invasive as I just planted along the border of my garden next to my neighbours fence 🤣 I guess we'll see. They can't really complain though as they have planted a bamboo in their garden and it keeps sending up shoots into my garden, it's a nightmare 😫 Thanks for the…

My honeyberry bush is really starting to grow, must be all the sunshine and rain. Has anyone ever tasted a honeyberry? Apparently they're like a cross between raspberries and blueberries and have twice the antioxidants....I'd never even heard of honey berries so I'm excited to see them grow and get some harvested

Ants are relentless, I don't envy you that problem. My neighbour is a horticulturist so he's growing all kinds of good stuff and he makes it look easy 🤣 Your neighbors sound generous, I love strawberries, I might try growing them next year, I think I'm too late now I've just planted my artichoke seeds and I harvested some…

Oh no, I do love birds, I wouldn't want to hurt them. I just want them to stay the hell away from my seeds 🤣😂 My dog is useless, he just lies in the garden watching them munching through my produce. Maybe I'll employ a cat 🐱🤣

Oh no, it's so sad when pesky pests ruin your hard work 😩 The main problem here is birds and slugs but I've solved that with netting. I'll see what the soil is like in a couple of days and try and till it again. I really want big beautiful artichokes!

Thanks. I've just soaked it with the hose and I think it is going to rain tomorrow so fingers crossed that does the trick

I want to plant artichokes at the back of my garden but I was trying to turn the soil over and prepare the ground today and it was really hard. I have a claw/tiller thingy but I'm still not getting more than half an inch into the soil. Any advice?

Breakfast of smoked salmon, poached eggs and wholemeal toast

Thank you, they are delicious as well !

I harvested my potatoes today. It's the first thing I've ever grown, I'm a complete novice at gardening and I am so pleased with them

Chicken and broccoli in oyster sauce. I cooked my rice in a turmeric infused beef bone broth, it was so good

Saturday morning brunch has become the regular Mexican eggs and sourdough with avocado 🥑

Hey 👋 I'm 5ft3 and considered a shorty! I did try to add you but you're coming up as private and it won't let me

You might want to go back to your doctor. There are a whole bunch of different antidepressants and there might be a better fit for you. I've been on them myself and know the difference it can make when you switch to a more suitable one. I know I took one called mirtazapine once and it had me absolutely starving 24/7, it…

I am definitely trying that KFC recipe 😋

Just made lunch...cheese omlette 😋

That looks amazing. I'd love the recipe for that 😋

And later on, a white chocolate and lemon cheesecake

I made a Mexican baked eggs brunch. Tinned cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, chorizo, feta and some sourdough toast and crushed avocado on the side. It was delish 😋

Sent you a friend request btw 😊

I do intermittent fasting and I like you feel the most energised on days I fast. My mood, my digestive issues, my sleep and my energy levels have all improved since I started fasting. I also like the freedom I have to eat a big dinner with my kids in the evening and not worry if I can fit this or that in as well...it just…

10 months for me, feel free to add me ☺️

Same. I'm sorry you're going through this, I know how terrifying it can be. I used to have terrible panic attacks, that were just indescribable. Prayer was the only thing that got rid of them. I haven't had one for about 9 months now and hope I never do again. Sending you hugs 🤗
