It has been a bit chilly of late and i am finding it easier and easier to admire the garden from inside the house at a distance. When i say chilly, I haven't actually had to put a coat on yet, but hey, I'm spoilt now!!
I had to put the blower on the windscreen the other morning as there were ice crystals, yes ice crystal's what's going on here. Max has changed from shorts to long trousers for school so it must be cold.
Well, no neem seeds have broken through so I think i will have to put it down as a failure and move on to other things or move to India. Never mind. I can still purchase all sorts of neem products from www.neemtreefarms.com and so can you if you wish.
Lisa has been busy in the garden keeping everything tidy for us, as I have been busy with my book. There are plenty of dates on the ground and olives have fallen early. All the herbs are in full growth after being cut back at the first rain's and I have basil in a pot which is going to be ready for Christmas. it is just outside my garden shed in a sheltered position along with lemon grass and marjoram. Its quite amazing when i think about how many herbs are available at this time of year here in Spain. This weekend is holiday time in Spain. Today Saturday 6th is Dia de la Constitucion and Monday is Dia la Imaculada ( Virgins day) so we've all got a holiday.
Tried explaining it to Max ( 13) but he wasn't interested, just happy with a day off school. The young are so shallow, don't you find.
A beautiful sunset this evening so enjoy. Its even better if you can listen to Kate Voegele, singing Hallelujah ( very loud) at the same time as viewing. Worth downloading.
