I havent been present for a few weeks, work, holiday, other stuff, so rather than write a book, Ive added photos.

We are really tucking into our home produce, lettuce, cabbage, chard, garlic, toms, cues and armfulls of runners (yum) Im entering a local Produce show on 23rd August so I look forward to that.

Tree lilys in photo grew to 3ft, stunning plants. My hanging baskets (photo of one) have gone mad, double begonias (from QVC) there’s a load of other veg havent taken photos of yet, loads of weeding to be done since returning from holiday.

Hope everyone is well and gardens are blooming :-)

Thanks for the nice comments :-)

Mebennet, we have a plot of land behind our back garden which we converted into a smallholding for keeping our chickens and growing our own. I am an organic gardener and try to keep everything healthy by growing in netted raised beds, its all trial and error but very rewarding :-)

Thanks for the compliment about my marrows etc pic Stroller.

Keep up with the good and hard work, so much better for you when you can pick it and eat it, we only ever had veg from the garden when we were kids, no wonder you won a prize!!!!
