well it's still summer really.................but there is a definite gap in the right-hand bed now that i've cleared it a bit...................tidying away the Johnson's Blue and the dicentra foliage shows how little else there actually is in there. so i've put in one of the hand-reared lemon catmint...........the applemint from the raised bed and the black peppermint that was threatening to die in its pot..........moved a Michaelmas daisy and the salvia...............that bed has always been a problem and never managed to turn into the nice herbaceous border that i'd like it to be, i've put in the Lychnis from Redhall in the hope that they'll self-seed, and the Helenium from Carrie's...........gave the pyracantha a good feed and water because it's been looking a bit dry............not surprisingly because digging down shows just how bone-dry the ground is..........
...........dug up and ate the first potatoes...........absolutely perfect. and some red onions.........and some green beans.............picking ripe tomatoes daily and loads more to come..........and we had gooseberry and rhubarb for pudding.......the gooseberry has done very well for its first year.
................a few lettuce in for the autumn...........plans for winter onions and rainbow chard once the courgettes are over............
