lots of plants.....




It's august and time for another short walk Everything is looking green at the moment it’s late July the summer has been just that, a summer like we used to have when we were children, long warm days. With all the sun the borage is coming into its own at the moment, certainly very pleasing for the bees as are the calendula flowers. The buckwheat is taking on a life of its own, I’m sure it has great plans. Chard, phacelia, wild rocket, burnet, sunflowers, sweet peas, they are all sending down good roots. The radishes are very dominant at the moment, I’m sure they are only too aware of the plans of the buckwheat.

It’s nice to see so much life been attracted into the allotment garden, we hope they enjoy their stay.
