Sunday

Another comfortable night with my new pillows.

Rang Nibby this morning. Talked about the garden and she tells me that thinning out vegetable seedlings and eating them are a good idea, and that Pauline in Canada used to let beetroots grow to small bulbs about thumb size and then cook them and serve with cream and horseradish. May well try this.The little salad seeds I planted have shot up, so will thin them a bit soon. May also try sprouting a few seeds for salad - apparently all you need is a jam jar and a clean popsock. Soak them for a few hours in water, then strain the water off then refill with water and rinse a couple of times a day. Mung beans are apparently the quickest, taking about three days, but apparently you can sprout any kind of seed. I feel a new hobby coming on.
