Sunday, mid-June

Back in December, Stella and Tony gave me some purple podded pea seeds.  We didn't plant them up on the allotment with the other, less classy peas, but down on the edge of the bed the beans have gone in.  They've been growing quite sturdily, but not producing flowers.  But this morning we went down - and the flowers have started :-)


Pretty, aren't they

The beans aren't doing too badly either


And the flowers are looking lovely




There are nearly, nearly peas to pick (maybe tomorrow).  The lettuces and radishes are coming along.  There are baby tomatoes on the hanging tomato baskets. And the squashes, zucchinis and pumpkins appear to be recovering from their post-planting out sulk. They are finally producing green leaves.

So far, so good.  But we could do with some more rain
