big butt....

We spent all day down at the patch. I finally completed fixing the guttering to the shed and connecting it up to the water butt that we acquired. You just know that there's now going to be a long, dry Summer !


Heather has mulched the Strawberry bed with a mixture of straw and leaves and this has been covered over with a net to keep the birds at bay.

Heather sowed another row of beetroot, sowed borlotti beans under a 'wigwam' of hazel poles and planted a row of spinach seedlings.

The autumn onions are developing bulbs, the peas and broad beans are starting to set pods, the first tips of asparagus are emerging and the potatoes are coming along nicely.

It's now starting to get really interesting.
