Today we almost cleared the area where Marjory used to live, levelling out and digging out the blasted dandelions…

New canes for the raspberries has tidied up that section very well and they’re looking very healthy, so here’s hoping for a good crop

The herbs are coming back strong, they always look a bit pathetic after the winter months, but the sage, thyme and chives are looking fabulous. The lavender isn’t looking quite so good and we have lost one of them – we shall replace it as we found it great for attracting bees.
 

We’ve started to stake the ‘Cobra’ beans as they started to trail along the ground, unfortunately only two of the plants made it, but they’re looking strong and have started to flower.

Talking of flowers, the courgette flowers are fabulous! And it’s so exciting to see four baby courgettes looking so healthy… and there’s more to come by the look of it.

The sweetcorn too is fantastic, such a growth spurt in just a week – we’re hoping for six sweetcorn so that we can share them with The Gang (you lucky people!!).

Onions and leeks are also standing proud and getting large, funny how one red onion has appeared in the middle of all our white onions though – we’ll probably fight over that one!!

Today’s wildlife:
An amazing orange and black striped caterpillar
Baby frog
Bloody great pigeon
Several bees

For the frogs we think we need to give them a safe area! So many times we disturb them and every time they make Lisa squeak from shock as they leap out!!
