What happens when you leave a garden for ten days...
The birds get the redcurrants...the weeds grow...the blackfly get on the broad beans...and the garlic lies down!
This afternoon I mowed the grass, put string supports up for the peas, cut back brambles, trimmed around one bed, lifted the garlic, took the side shoots off the tomatoes and picked a litre tub of gooseberries!!
There are some blackcurrants and alpine strawberries that need picking before the birds get them too!!

At least yours is growing! Our veg is struggling to get started.
...the critters thought that this for them.
Our tomato plant is thriving except when I fail to water it every day.
It just missed you. You will love it back to life and it will love you back to life too. (That's what gardens do.)

Jaycee things are slow here too...
It doesn't take long for a garden to get out of control. I am sure you will have it sorted in no time. Make sure to rest though after that long drive and all that has been going on for you recently.
In a day or two you'll have everything ordered again. Your garden is producing pretty well.
Still got a good harvest I think.
Do you guys apply mulch to your gardens? We absolutely need to during our hot summers. I use organic sugar cane mulch and it helps keep the ground moist.
Since your summers are becoming hotter it might be a good idea although I’m not sure what you have available for you to use
Gardens are great to grow but it takes a lot of work.
Angela yes I do mulch...keeps moisture in and helps prevent soil degredation and so reduces carbon release.
Even lawn trimmings and cardboard boxes are doing a good job!
Believe me, I can relate!
Have you got plenty of fym?
I have some fym...and I am clearing out an old compost bin
