My small garden has progressed! Courgettes, tomatoes (round red, pear shaped red, Jens orange, a heritage variety grown from saved seed) are all being gathered and enjoyed. There are still Paris (white round) salad onions and Touchon carrots. The cabbage planted way back is recovering from flea beetle attack and looks like I will get something. The other cabbage, which you pick the leaves and it continues to grow up is doing well and I am about to try it out. Wild black berries are in abundance in my hedge and are easy to pick and are also being enjoyed in crumbles and mixed in with stewed apple. Of course there is the continual problem of weeds particularly in the gravel! Real pain to remove but I have made the effort on the front drive which is now cleared and I am monitoring every day for weed growth! The wild flowers growing round the pound are starting to go to seed and I will let them scatter in the bed around the pond in the hope they will flower again next year. My common thyme sown in a triangle bed in the middle of the patio at the front of the house is thriving.
