Looks great TG. My plots are doing well, all except my peas, very disappointed. I put it down to such a long dry period.

Not so dry here now though, thankfully.

Nice to see that you have been busy :P well done:)

Are you growing your pumpkins and squash  in bottomless pots?

Pumpkins yes! on the compost heap, the squash are in beds!

Your link doesn't open up like it usually does, TG- I got a bit distracted by the questionable ad at the left! ;D

Great pics though- don't know how you find enough hours in the day! Is there a reason for having squash and penstemons in the same bed?

I guess that because they are based in 'Photobucket' whereas my monthly pictures are directly from my website.

I just did them this way so you can a look at them now as opposed to the end of June!

Quotedon't know how you find enough hours in the day!

I am quite busy in May as this is when I do my planting out but the rest of the year is generally quite steady, when I only spend about a couple of hours per day five days a week!

QuoteIs there a reason for having squash and penstemons in the same bed?

At last an easy question to answer 8)

Its the only bit of spare ground I had at the time, and thats is the bed I normally do my trials in.

Under the Penstemon & Squash there is a load of daffodil bulbs fattening / ripening up for next year. These will get lifted after I have harvested the squash (well thats the plan for now......it could change ;))

This year I have now moved my nursery bed to where the Gladioli are.

I am currently trialing some Lilies there but you can't see them for the garlic.

Thanks for the answers!

QuoteI reckon I've found you at last!

I reckon you have!

Did you notice I have got a new blue shirt, brown cordaroy trousers and straw hat since then?

I got them at the turn of the century  ::)

Had to!

The last lot had lasted over half a century, so like me they were a bit worn out! ;D

I reckon you've painted your avatar Tee Gee, there was no colour in my edition!
