Lovely Geoff!
I have one plant that's been in the ground for about 20 years. It comes up every year, but the shrubs around are now so big, I can't see it anymore!
Summer bits and bobs.

Made a good impact on the weeds today, but no doubt they will be back as this is the third time I have weeded the asparagus & back beds but it could be sorted if the plots opposite did some weeding. One is excused as his wife had recently died & I will pop over there with my hoe when I finish my plots just to do a quick tidy for him. I saw him in the supermarket & he is coming back.
Going down on Wednesday to finish the last few beds & hopefully with the warmth & less rain they might be more controlled. One good thing was I found today was loads of strawberries hiding in the weeds that the slugs & birds missed! That's it for now for this end as got to get back to the other beds. Not one lettuce has showed still, they start of fine & then just give up & wilt! I'm going to re-sow the next ones in amongst other beds & plants, shouldn't upset any thing else as I mostly grow tom thumb as small & no wastage. Anyway will see! Final bonus was local news says some light overnight rain for a couple of days here so can get cracking straight away without getting the hose out!

Good afternoon Peter, are you still about?
