I was watching Location, location, location during the week. They were in Sheffield. They went to lots of lovely places that I know well, like Woodseats, Meersbrook, Millhouses, amongst others. I saw lots of landmarks that I know. "Oh look! There's the Crosspool tower, the Ranmoor church spire, the Heeley mosque." We wandered through Graves Park, along the main road in Woodseats, past Bishops' House. It was all very nostalgic. I almost felt homesick 😊
Then I went outside into a glorious summer's afternoon and decided that perhaps I might just stay here for now.
I am rather pleased with my small vegetable beds. They're doing quite well this year.
I need more pea plants next year |
The tomatoes did not flourish on the front porch last year. They're doing much better this year |
Runner bean flowers |
The sweet corn is flourishing |
I've fenced back the raspberries, which had started to lounge about along the back path. While I was at it, I cut back this year's fruiting canes. I also pruned the rhubarb, which garnered me four sticks to use. I wouldn't usually pick rhubarb in its first year but it was beginning to get a bit unruly. And I figured I might as well eat the prunings.
We have been having some lovely weather lately. Not too hot, not too windy.

That rhubarb is looking pretty good! It looks like it will be very productive!
ReplyDeleteI am pleased with the rhubarb, it's true. I'm quite pleased with the whole vegetable and fruit adventure this year. Much better than last year (it's been a better summer, last year was very cool and damp).
