It's balmy down near the beach today and the garden is lovely. Dad's been busy cutting the grass and sorting out some of the borders while I do a little bit now and again. I'm experimenting with bagged spuds this year - Maris Piper variety - and the first bag is doing well. Hopefully I've staggered the planting enough to get a longer harvest!
I hadn't noticed that the apples had swollen so much - looks like we'll have a good crop of Bramleys this year. The late spring means all the pollinators and blossom arrived together and with the recent heat and rainfall, it's the perfect combination!
What is it about a shed. I wish the smell could be blogged! The spades, fork and rake are years old - some even belonged to my grandfather - but they still do the job!
Next job is to sort out the herbs - a few chives with the lovely purple heads and some parsley and lemon balm but everything else needs replaced. Really miss the rosemary and thyme especially.
Thank you for the refreshing break.
