Mostly just Watching the Bees 🐝🐝

I gathered some Lettuce and tidied up the remaining plants . We should keep the Lettuces coming for a long time yet and I might sow some more seeds .

 The Tomatoes in the greenhouse are dwindling down now . Just a few more still to come .

Same with the Sweet Peppers . We sadly munched our last mini Cucumber "party time" of the season yesterday .  

I took a slow walk around the garden . 

Watched the bees ....

Looking at the Courgettes , I can see mostly male flowers .

The flower on the right is a male and the flower bud on the left is a female with the immature fruit behind it . 

We really need some proper rain to really give the earth a good soaking . I feel that only then we will start getting more courgettes . 

Good news - is someone has fixed the hose to the outside tap for me !  I am SO so grateful !  

The next area that I am excited to get tidied up  !  

Grape-vine ....Monkey PuzzleTree .....and the T. rex . 

I really am excited about this bit of the garden ....it's gonna be SO cool !  🦖

     😃  I will have so much fun doing this ...yes really !  

                                                 Tetrapanax papyrifer rex

.....but not today ....I am aching something dreadful after all the weeding I've been doing .

So I'm sitting here in the car doing some "dolly stitching " while my husband goes into town to have his hair cut .  

 It is nice and quiet here . 

      It is too noisy at home to concentrate on my more serious medieval embroidery . For the same reason I haven't been able to do my botanical watercolour painting that I had planned to do in the summerhouse . 

I just can't concentrate on my work . 

It has been so hot and we are forced to close our windows because of the noise . I am so unhappy about it . We have also had to go out to get away from it .

I'm trying so hard to not let this bring me down . 

 So gardening is all I have done , all Summer ,which you know I love , but is making me a little tired .

Anyway .....trying to keep positive and happy ....

I picked a goodly basketful of Plums  . I think the deer has had a few of them too . I also watched him munching some of the lower branches of our Apple trees ! 🦌

The apples are for my neighbours this year , who are going to make cider 🍺🍏🍏

Oh well ...there are enough for all  of us  ...if I can just get to them first !!   🙂  

    Weather update -  Kernow Weather Team   - think Storm Erin is now heading towards Iceland and not Cornwall . 

 No rain until next Wednesday . 

It is overcast here today , the sun is trying to come out  .

Time for a nice cuppa tea . I've rather taken to Earl Grey . Also , the occasional comforting milky Chai is nice too .

     What tea do you enjoy ?  What can I get for you ?  Would you like a biscuit ?  🍪🍪🫖☕

                          Cheerio fer now , love and hugs Debbie  💐 x
