I guess it's a sign that you're "recovered" when the holiday starts to feel boring. It's been over 6 years since I last had a proper vacation, so I had almost forgotten this feeling. On Monday, I'm thinking of going into the office. Not that there will be many people there, but still. I wonder if my little desk plants have survived? Maybe some kind soul has seen them through the curtain and given them a bit of water now and then. I hope so.
We haven't done anything special this week. One day we visited the sheep, and today Mats went into Stockholm, but otherwise, we've stayed home. We need to get a new greenhouse set up before winter to store hay in (instead of building a barn, which we realized would be both expensive and difficult). My dad is coming up in mid-August to help us, and by then the foundation needs to be ready.

Current status! The location is actually terrible, squeezed between a pile of brush full of wasp nests and a broken compost bin.

Also a terrible location, right in the middle of the road.

Look how majestic the bean vines are! The red ones are runner beans. I've never grown those before

Cauliflower and pointed cabbage. The cauliflower is both small and ugly, but this year it still counts as a victory considering all the slugs!

That's right. Another thing I did this week was to apply liquid beeswax to the bathroom vanity. Since it's made of wood, it has to be protect from moisture. I hope it works.
