View from the kitchen


This is the long view of the garden taken yesterday and yes, I know the grass needs cutting! I spent most of my time weeding the driveway (again) yesterday as well as having a general tidy up, dead-heading and cutting back things like the Jasmine which has been making the most of the rain.
On the edibles front I'm harvesting Tomatoes, Physallis, Chillies, Raspberries and Alpine Strawberries and I think the first of Crystal Lemon Cucumbers will be ready in a matter of days. I'm still waiting to pick the first Courgettes and Beetroot as they both seem very slow to develop. Oh and the seed of the purple Radishes I sowed last week have germinated so I'm looking forward to trying them in a few weeks time.

It's all looking very lush! Longer grass is beneficial for wildlife if you're looking for an excuse! xx
