Missing

Have been back on the mainland now for 19 days...not that I am counting! Wondering how the seedlings are progressing that I planted before I left. Wondering about the garlic that was planted with the waning moon and wondering if the summer lettuce seed is ready to harvest.

I let bolt to seed for next summers sowing, a very dark red lettuce, delicious flavour with deep serrated leaves. The yellow flowers were bursting forth like stars heading for the heavens from the rosette.

 In 6 days I will know how the garden I left behind has progressed.  Not counting!
