Lupins in the morning sun. Pretty, ne?

Our 'reward' vouchers arrived from Tesco yesterday, so off I trotted to spend them this morning - and also to compare prices after yesterday's shock at Sainsbug. And indeed, Tesco had their own organic chopped tomato tins at 52p (I bought six) and organic white rice at 76p (I bought four - all they had). It'll keep us going for a couple of weeks at least. But their milk is the same price as Sainsbug and I'm not fond of the taste of Tesco bread, so didn't check the price.
It's quite fun to watch the kits in the garden. They've lost all interest in hunting birds (must be their age) and are now quite content to sit and watch the blackbirds stripping the meadow of worms. (It's actually quite something to see: the female regularly crams so many in she has difficulty taking off, and you can't see her lower beak at all! They must have hungry - and very well fed - nestlings.)
On the subject of the meadow, all the wildflower seeds I planted in seed trays have started coming up. With a bit of luck I'll be able to identify them soon, and we'll be able to plant them in groups in the meadow itself. I know there are poppies and scabious in the cornfield mix, and foxgloves in the woodland one, but really don't know what else we have coming up. Be fun to see!
I'm letting the first batch of Oriental salad leaves run to seed, in the hope I can collect the seed and plant them all separately, because the pak choi (which we all like) is faster growing than the others and will outstrip them if left to its own devices, while the mizuna (mine and Kai's favourite) is so small and delicate it gets swamped.
Right - a little client stuff, then to the loom...
