‘Photo essay’ being a grandiose way of me just
inserting a load of pictures instead of crafting a logical collection of words.
(It’s Friday. It’s sunny. We’re barbecuing. Who wants to be inside typing?)
Here goes…
In the veg garden
 |
| Pepper sizing up the garden. |
The veg garden is beautifully full this year, with lots of flowers as well as edibles.
 |
| Gladioli (for cut flowers) and calendula among this year's stonking beetroot. |
 |
| Exciting new crops for this year: sweet potatoes (which we've not grown for years); our first kaffir limes; a wild-and-woolly-looking potato patch (spuds not being something we normally grow); and our first attempt at green beans. |
 |
| Plus a few old favourites: purple sprouting broccoli; tomatoes; grapes; this year's garlic harvest; the first butternut squash on the vines; and monster courgette. |
In the flower garden
And to think we never gave a toss about flowers until a few years ago…
Meanwhile, the rustic greenhouse project
continues
I mean, what can I say, it’s huge. And it’s so
far behind schedule, Rob’s had to plant the tomatoes and build around them!
