Pumpkin Patch 🌿

 It's a beautiful morning here and at last that cruel east wind has stopped blowing .

Yesterday evening I made a start weeding what will be my pumpkin patch in the African Keyhole Bed . What a mess !  I did cover it over the winter but took it all off too soon . I already weeded it and now they've all grown back .

I made a good start as the sun was going down but husband ordered me to stop (poor hungry man who wanted feeding ! 🦍 ) so I didn't finish it .

Just look at that Giant Echium !

 It's started to open it's flowers and it is a white one . The bees are loving it .

                                  🐝    It's still going up !   🐝🐝

I was very pleased to find a little clump of my perennial Egyptian walking onions . I thought I had lost those . I did collect a few of the bulbils last autumn and they are coming along nicely in the shed . 

It's good to have these perennial vegetables . I have lost the perennial Daubenton's Kale sadly ...but I noticed a Brussel sprout stump re growing ...it may not produce sprout buttons but the leaves are very tasty .

                  What a mess !      Aagh !                   Robin came along to help .

      Bindweed , thistles , nettles , brambles and couch grass  . Everything !

Meanwhile in the greenhouse ....

                    That cactus bud is getting fatter !

Out in the vegetable garden , the chives that I transplanted into the Lavender bed are doing really well .

 They had been grazed almost to the ground by the  naughty bunnykins , but now they are in this bed enclosed with chicken wire and are coming back nicely .   

                    🐇🐰       Well , that's all fer now !    🐰🐇
