Wet Wednesday

I was damp and sluggish (full of slugs!) on the monthly volunteer-lunch Wednesday. The rain and being enthusiastically watered by my keen gardeners, has left me feeling soggy.
I was still able to provide a hearty harvest for the monthly garden lunch, including: a myriad of salad leaves, tomatoes, purple tomatillos, beetroot, beans and spring onions.
Some of my less successful courgette plants were added to the compost and winter salads were planted in their place. The soil level in these containers was raised slightly in an effort to allow greater air-flow around the bases of these new plants.
Seeds were gathered for over winter storage from my vigorous nasturtiums.
And I'm feeling fresh after my compost was given a good digging over.

Getting Drenched

It's been raining LOTS this week so I am well-watered.
Kathleen and Shelagh came by on Saturday 27th August and we were hoping for a sunny day.
Here's Shelagh having a think about what to do first while enjoying one of Kathleen's lavender biscuits - made with my lavender!
They decided that some of my boxes have grown as much as they can. This purslane has already cropped and we need to use the box for a new plant, so this one is going to help by going on our compost - to help make soil for next year.
But what's this hiding under my courgettes?
Are they edible?
Kathleen harvested some marrowfat peas
What a delicious crop
We were going well and then the skies opened and monsoon style rain forced my friends to take shelter.
Oh well, the rain is very good for my boxes
