This week...
Oh the joys of the allotment... well half an allotment plot...
Tomatoes are looking great... fingers crossed we don't get blight (again)
this year... if we do at least there will be plenty of green tomato chutney this year !!
Black Berries are abundant again this year and I'm still picking Gooseberries ...
More lettuce leaves sown and others ready for the plate
Lots of apples growing on the tree..
My little bench to sit and ponder on...
The butterfly habitat behind... nettles covered with eggs...
I always leave plenty of leeks to flower for the bees to enjoy...
First cucumbers for three years... four so far and very yummy!!
The first of the squashes...
The squashes and sweetcorn patch is really lush...
Then where would we be without the comfrey feed... it might stink but it makes everything so lush...
I've also been picking and hanging Lavender, Melissa, Sage, Mint, Peppermint and Marjoram to dry...
Then my two lovely vintage Fabric buys...
I'm thinking of cutting some squares out of this and adding them to a white duvet cover...
Huge fabulous fabric, which I think is probably Boras... If you know what it is do let me know....
Hooray it is Boras 'Lago' by Saini Salonen
I just couldn't resist them...
I thought Maud might like them...
I love them!!
But three frustrations this week the TV box broke, the shower broke and well let's not say too much about the loo..
* update the blockages were caused by roots!! lush roots grown through the old dry sealed pipe work and growing inside the U bend.... very common the chap said... Hmmm... the whole lot has got to be dug out and replaced!
Instead let's celebrate the masses of Butterflies...
Have you joined in with the Big Butterfly count yet??
