Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I've got fairly lucky... I've lost a couple of courgette plants, but most of the veg bed seems OK.

I've just watered a patch of lawn in front of the greenhouse so it's hopefully soft enough tomorrow to cut out the turf to put a slab by the door! I cannot believe how hard baked the ground is only a few weeks after being waterlogged.
I did also water the veg!

So far, both of my courgette plants are still alive. I've killed one small tomato plant but the others, including some beets are thriving so far.

I planted up a couple of hanging baskets yesterday and they seem to have survived what I hope was the last of the coldest nights.
Going to be brave today and start getting more of the delicate veg planted out.

Still cross with self for not having taken "before" photos when I first started clearing and re-deigning the back garden back in the spring.

(I'll pop down Mrs Jigs, have you somewhere for a tent ;-) )

A couple of shots of garden flowers. The peonies looking particularly fine this year. It is clinging to a banking and trussed to a lilac bush, but from producing one or two weeny flowers, it has fair come on.

Know the problem MrsJ, ideally I wanted to extend our patio properly, decided it was easier to build decking over it. Finding anyone to do anything locally is impossible, I've had to design garden beds and planting so that the fence can be replaced from the outside because I couldn't get anyone to do it over the winter and I didn't fancy putting the new posts in myself!.
