Summers here

Imagine that! The UK is actually having a summer. And boy is it a scorcher. At the moment the only thing that's happening at the plot is watering, watering and more watering.

Our Mediterranean Wild Flowers are really loving this weather though and are putting on quite a good show.

The Sweetcorn has started to flower. So we're going to be expecting corn soon.

And the Leeks are flowering, as are the Morning Glories.

Yes we're letting them flower so we can collect the seeds. The actual leeks themselves got slugified so they were not worth eating. But I suppose there is no harm in trying to harvest the seeds.

Meanwhile the Courgette mound is producing away.

There are still lots of tiddlers in amongst the foliage.

Which is not so bad, considering we keep taking them. (And a beetroot).

And finally we have a visitor back again. He's been missing for a good few weeks, but this morning when we came to water (nice and early before the place heated up) we could see a huge pile of earth that had been dug out. Yes, Mr Fox has decided to move back in.

Maybe he wants to live closer to our neighbour's chickens?
