Lovely day today. I checked a hive which is raising queens, and potted up some paeonies. I wasn't feeling too good at all, so I didn't get any further.

I'm feeling better right now, thanks, but I've let myself in for a work party on the site in a bit, and I'm wondering how well I'll manage! I seem to be a bit limited this summer, I hope it won't last.

Picked raspberries, dug up some pots, picked runner beans, peas, and a couple of courgettes. Got given a marrow. Have just cooked spagetti bolognese for tomorrow, courgette soup, and pork chops with peas, and sweetcorn, forgot the sweetcorn, and also baked squashes, courgettes, toms, onions whatever. The lady at my allotment said that she saw a squirrel last night, picked one of my sweetcorn, unpeeled it and sat on a bale of straw and ate it. I suppose that means that it is ripe, clever these squirrels, hope he enjoyed it, so picked four today to bring home. Cut the grass a bit, a did some weeding, but it was vey hot, so had a good chat, and Manuel come to see if I had watered my pumpkin, which I promised to do later, and Nick checked my toms and pulled off a few side shoots. Spoke to Ken, who was on Gardeners World drinking the nettle tea, which he said tasted like piss, but they couldn't film that, so he changed it. Also they have cut out his swearing. He is a real character and generous, he grows stuff and gives it away. Just got home and after cooking etc. etc. still some beans to freeze, the door bell rang and my neighbour, who also has an allotment, had left an enormous cabbage on the door step.
