We have loads of sweet peas in the garden at the moment, they smell lovely, and I'm sure the more you pick the more they flower?
Daffy and Daisy are settling in well - we hope to let them have the full range of the garden next week.
Our small greenhouse is looking good, we have a variety of tomatoes growing - red, yellow and a stripey variety.
A different view of the fantastic wildflower meadow.
Our wildflower raised bed, a lot of the flowers are now going to seed, we will try and collect the seed so that we can use it next year.
A tin full of poppy heads, which we will dry before collecting the seed.
Seedlings in the small greenhouse
The seedlings will be planted out in our raised beds or in the poly-tunnel later on in the year.
Blackcurrants picked today, there are not many this year as we moved the bushes late in the spring - hopefully we will get more next year.
Our hens are getting lots of greens from the garden at the moment. All the leafy weed picked out of the garden are given to the hens to pick over and scratch about in.
We found a frog in the garden today - it wasn't in the pond but underneath some long grass near the pumpkins.
We found this caterpillar today, apparently it is an Elephant Hawk Moth Caterpillar.
I found this picture on the RHS website to show what it will look like as a moth. All the long grasses we have in the garden must be encouraging moths to our garden?
Some of the produce we picked from the garden today, purple beans and cucumbers. More cucumber pickles.............
