I feel everything about this whole surprising, marvelous event deserves an exclamation mark!
Here, let me share my photos with you, put them out into the world so that it can be seen, remembered and one day, attempted again (eek!)!
And there she was 24a in all her welcoming glory :)
Bed #1 - lettuces, courgettes, sweetcorn, chard, purple sprouting broccoli
Bed #2- loads of beetroot (various different colours), celeriac, turnips, carrots, parsnips
Blueberries coming into color under netting - ha, take that pigeons!
Bed #4 - garlic, broad beans, mangetout, french climbing beans
Some of the many flowers that are in bloom, or coming into bloom :) This really makes me happy as I saw so many bees and butterflies on them whilst I was there. I love our plot to be full of color and helpful insects. Cornflower (purple), dahlia, red velvet rose, marigold, california poppies.
A good hour of my time was devoted to this path and making it safe. All I had was a push mower, hand scissors and my grit and determination. Note how Maggie is NO help :)
2 hrs later and look how sleepy Maggie is (the cheek of her, she didn't do anything!). One last look back and what a happy little sight the marigolds on the shelf under the shed window are :)
All in all I am pleased I pushed and today I have plans for the back garden. Thank you for your comments on the last post by the way and if you are a Facebook follower xxx Harvest photos next time and I have some lovely Mount Stewart nature photos from the weekend too.Hugs and LoveCarrie x
