July Garden

 Butter beans round the back of the workshop
 Pebbles each side of the bricks, makes them more stable and looks better
 Yellow courgettes can't hide!!
 Cucumbers hiding in the corner!
 The only aubergine to germinate... eventually!

 Windswept beans
 Alderman peas..nice big pods and a good use of space

 The willow wattle fence is coming along, the end ones are fixed, hopefully the side, split into two panels, will be removable for ease of working

 The first spare patch of earth for a while, now the garlic has been lifted. I am trying one cucumber outside, haven't decided what will go in to fill the square.
I picked what fruit there was today, and it filled a half litre box...we lost so much to wind damage, fruit and branches being blown off. 
This calls for a rethink . There are plenty of new branches that would make good cuttings, possibly we should go for cordon growing on post and wire framework?
 I could easily fill a garden twice as big!!

You are both practically self sufficient.

It is all looking so good - prolific and healthy.

Cat, definitely not..you do what you can.
Amy, far from it..but it definitely helps
Susan, thankyou. It was struggling with the cold wet and windy weather, but it has turned the corner now

Looking good! You're more industrious gardeners than we are.

You do have a lovely vegetable garden. I did not know butter beans grew so high. Right now, the only plant to grow high against my wall is ivy, and I can’t cook with it!

It all looks lovely, never knew you could grow butter beans.

I love the re-use of sticks as frames.
