Royal Visit.

Greetings.
Well not quite ...but almost as Georgina and Camilla came to visit today. So I was up on the plot early and got weeding and tidying in readiness . So I've put a new step down onto the plot and planted the willow branches on either side to make an arch. Looks fab. Did a bit of planting out and potting on....toms and chillies or are they peppers....? Anyway I also sorted the melons so the greenhouse is done. Just got to plant out the rest of the beetroot once I've dug the rest of my spuds.
Have I mentioned the lupins? Producing tons of stems. And the strawberries .....huge!
And the weather has been unusually good too....sunny and warm. Beautiful!
Keep on Keeping on.

Wet Wet Wet

Greetings...
Not just a group!
Been pouring all week....great for me onions and corn and beans and berries and stuff but not good for cats.
Just got beetroot to get planted out now and my mellons to get sorted in the greenhouse and that will sorta be it for a bit. Chillies begining to show well. Toms continuing to please.
I love it!
Keep on enjoying.

Great weekend

Greetings.
And what a scorcher she was! Lots done out on the plot.....more beans....courgettes......kale.....in! Spuds almost all dug......not a huge harvest but not bad tasting. Toms setting and growing madly.
Just have my beets and parsnips to plant out. Strawberry crop loking fab.
On the downside the plot is drinking me dry......half a tank left already. Woe.
On the upside....it's all good!
Keep on keeping on.

Nursery

Greetings.
Very sunshiney today and forecast to get only better. Fab.
A nest of tiny golden spiders has hatched on my barrow. They're amazing!
Lady Di beans seem to be struggling a bit. Sweet corn doing great. Tom's are rampant. 
Delighted with progress ......looking forward to Saturday as I intend to dig the rest of my spuds...plant out my courgettes and beets and kale. Lots to do but a sunny day will make it brilliantl.
Keep on enjoying.
