collected ragged robin seeds to sow again in my meadow  :)

tie in runner beans / watered some plants / picked courgettes and over grown ones now marrows / dug some spuds  :D

picked lots of peas, more strawberries, never had such a good crop, first of the cherries, couple of tayberries, lettuce and a few potatoes  ;D

Watered.  Planted out some more brassicas was waiting for some rain.  Can't wait any longer.

Planted out some more beans.  Watered.  Pegged down strawberry runners into pots with hair pins.  Difficult to find them.  Tesco came up trumps.#

Mulched around beans and courgettes.  Sat on my new chair from car boot sale - bargain.

After Saturday's cauliflower triumph - found three huge calabrese heads, first time I've grown this .....at this rate I may even have a go at melons next year.......

Due to the God d**n hot weather (never thought I'd say that..... :( )

I have carried 900 litres of water to the site to fill up my water butts...

Took me a good 2.5 hours.

Perks of having a 20ft Polytunnel ;D

installed a sink,outside the back door to the house, so I can wash the veggies before they get into the kitchen. note bucket to collect the water for re-use on the garden.

Finished work for the weekend and put more plants into the garden.Watered them all in and then sat back to enjoy the view.

did a red ant dance  ;D gosh they have been bad this year - before that planted the last bulb fennel, weeded, planted out some thyme, last of the beetroot, last of the squash and then found caterpillars on my kale!!

cut down a row of peas(planted in march), spread spent mushroom compost on the bed and transplanted some calabrese, savoy and romanesco into the space and put a net over them

Dug up Red Sun shallots and they're in the greenhouse to dry off. I've never grown this variety before and some of them are bigger than my onions at the moment!
Weeded onions again.
Watered.
Didn't pick the sweet peas tonight as our house smells lovely with those I picked a couple of nights ago. (There wasn't anyone up at the plot to give them to!)
Hopefully, nets off tomorrow and will be armed with my scissors for a currant picking session.
