I use it instead of Yoga exercises Westi…….

Last year I had tops on tatties around 4 feet tall, but there was next to nothing underneath them(lifted a bit early as the dreaded "b word" struck them), hopefully this year will be better.

We had a bit of rain that damped the dust down, now a mix of cloud and sun, next to no wind, but with storm Chris forecast for next week, the garden will be ok I guess whilst we are away on holiday.

As long as it's only the plants that are brown and shriveled I won't be too sad ……………………!!

Off for 2 weeks holiday, I hope the garden survives, though some rain is forecast.

Veg are coming along well, not picked anything yet apart from a few thinning's, the Mooli have had a couple run to seed, so the small roots were sampled raw, quite nice and peppery.

Woburn?

The garden is buzzing with bees just now

Sadly I don't have the labels for these roses.

We have the cool Haar rolled in off the sea, quite chilly this morning

Indicative of todays society, I used to have rasps and a tayberry on the border fence between me and my neighbour, went out one day to find her filling a bowl with my fruit(and not just the ones on her side of the fence), there's now a tall beech hedge between us.

Just picked my first purple dwarf French beans today, you know the nearly 6 foot tall dwarf ones !!

Thankfully I don't have a supply for those Monika, wouldn't fancy eating the crop afterwards, or smelling the Sweetpeas either.

Up date on the hanging basket experiment, the crops(sweetpeas, climbing French beans and petit pois peas) are all growing quite well, but if the wind gets up I have to put them on the floor as the overhanging crops get bashed against anything nearby. Worth trying, but not quite the resounding succes...

There's 3 categories apparently, this is a cat2 that doesn't need surgery.
