Good morning Sunshine !
Up early to get everything watered and weeds hoed down .
Lots of flowers coming now and one or two courgettes ....but they are just tiddlers at the moment .
🌿The earth smells so good 🌿
The Sweetcorn is also coming along . The Runner-beans have really taken quite a bashing in the recent gales and that has really set them back . Last year I lost all my Runner-beans in the harsh winds at around the same time . ( I think my American friends- you call these Pole Beans..which kind of makes more sense really ☺️🌿 )
They are just about hanging on in there .
Next year I must remember to sow on some windbreak mesh on the side of the chicken wire fence where the breezes blow through . I have been putting the wheelbarrow on it's side to sort of block it from which ever side it is blowing in from ....which has worked ....but we can do better !
Shallots - I think they are finally starting to come up .
Anyway , the sun is up and shining , it is hot already . I have opened up the greenhouse and made sure everything is watered in there .
Beetroot ....I am so excited to have our own beetroot !
I have another lot of Lavender plants waiting to be planted out . The more, the merrier ! 🌿🪻🪻
I have made sure there is fresh water for our wild birds and animal friends .
Oh ! Good news !......
I am SO happy !
🌿 💚 🌿
The meadow has been cut and drying out nicely in the hot sunshine .
As for me , I have done all I wanted to do in the garden today .
I'm going to find some shade and do my embroidery , read a few gardening books , maybe do a bit of patchwork .
Take care in the hot sunshine everybody ! ☀️
love Debbie x
