Definite progress

We're continuing apace here - just about keeping ahead of all the jobs to do!

Two years ago, fed up of mowing between the veg beds we started laying stones.  Wilf's weekend project last week was to complete another side.  I'm convinced it's helping to reduce snail and slug damage - the pea wigwam closest to the camera has been munched - a quick ferret through the grass revealed the perfect hiding place.  Hmm.  



If you're eagle-eyed you'll notice we've put in our bean wigwams alongside the peas.  With two more to put up, I spent the afternoon digging couch grass out of one of the chosen sites in the border.  I hate that sort of gardening!

Tomatoes and chillies are potted on and living in the rough and tumble of the greenhouse.  Everything else is still living in the conservatory - I need more room!

Elsewhere in the garden everything's growing and blooming - despite my neglect!
