8th August Veg garden update
Still hot and dry....I gathered some lavender this morning .
I,m going to make some Lavender sachets .
I leave plenty for the bees !
French Beans a plenty now !
The Squash surprise me as I come across them hidden beneath those shady leaves and the vines are scrabbling and beginning to climb the pig-wire frames ,
I lift them gently and replace to rest on old slates .
I think that is a Gete-okosomin Squash in there ! I wonder how the people I shared seeds with are doing ? Please do get in touch and let me know ! :)
Tomatoes are doing nicely now ....not pounds and pounds ...but a good bowl full most days ...enough for the two of us .
I love the plum shaped tomatoes ...
My husband likes the round ones ....
He also loves these hot hot hot Chillies..I cant stand them..yuk !
I must admit they are beautiful though....husband is very proud of his Chillies .
We,ve sown more Lettuce seed coming up in the tray on the right ...we,ve sown some Aquilegia seedsin the tray on the left...but I think these might need a bit of a winter freeze spell before they germinate ...we should have waited until early Spring to sow these maybe ?
It has been so hot and dry here...only in the very early morning , might you see dew on the grass and tiny spider's webs glistening in the Labyrinth .....
......and all across the meadow .
Then the Sun rises and it all dries up again...the Lichens on the gate is dry to a crisp ....waiting for the rain .... it is a wonderful survivor .
The clouds have been billowing up to the north of us....but they are drifting away from my thirsty garden .
Beautiful towering clouds against the blue sky .
Still waiting for rain !
