Not allowed out today, as have to go to grand daughters presentation, or whatever. Still it will do me good not to watch everything grow and dig up things before they are ready to see how they are doing. With the rain should be some runner beans to pick tomorrow and have some friends that want some. Just looked in the freezer and still have blackberries from last year, and am starting to pick them this year. What do I do??? Have made jam but we can't eat it all and next door likes it, but probably not good enough to give to strangers, don't want to poison anyone, apart from me and OH. What can I do with all my frozen redcurrants???? How much jelly can one eat.

Got the broad bean haulms out and dug them into the onion trench with the manure ready for the Jap onions to go into in the autumn. Ower Tone dug over the ground that the broad beans had been in and I planted the brocolli plants. Just hope that we get a crop off em before the winter sets in. Finished taking the leaves off the strawberries while ower Tone get the old Brocolli plants out. A good days work

Nick cut the bottom leaves off my toms, and I watered the pumpkin its four watering cans a day as per instructions.

Dried up enough for me to get in the garden and pick runner beans and green sprouting brocolli, oh and rhubarb. ;D

After the scorcher yesterday 8) in Enfield, the weather was better for the lottie today, so I ripped out the peas and weeded around the french beans, watered and found where the beans had been hiding. :o
I also harvested some more earlies, they are getting big now and some have slug damage, so me thinks its time to get them out the ground. ??? ;D ;D ;D
