Thumb twiddle workout

Today I am feeling uninspired (garden-wise anyway. The house is getting a thorough cleaning after being neglected a little over the last couple of days.)
Everything is merely existing, there's not much happening to speak of. The tomatoes have a few flowers but that's it, carrots are taking their sweet time to grow, as are the poppies, the snow peas and golden podded peas are lazily producing some pods, and it is as if the alyssum looks up at me and says "I'm tiny, but still cheery". I go outside to check the Kailaan broccoli for caterpillars every few days (I'll be getting some netting for next year), but other than that there's nothing else going on.

Indoors my current project is making the kids some library bags after our train/library excursion on Monday made me realise they don't have any. I found a great backpack style design that I'd like to have a crack at so once my home smells a bit better I'll be whipping them up (toddler permitting).

I am eagerly anticipating some flowers from these poppies, and the sweet scent of our daphne to begin wafting it's way around THEN I'll be excited about my winter garden again :)
