More Clay digging and a Friendly Fox

Felicia* came to visit again today. She's getting friendlier but she will still run off if you move too fast or make a noise. We've seen one of her cubs and we think we now know where she's made her den. I guess she was wondering if I was digging up some tasty treats for her.

On the subject of digging... I managed to get a second of the clay beds dug over and planted another lot of Sweetcorn and Cape Gooseberries in there.

Meanwhile The Wife planted out 4 of the 8 Honey Bear Squashes...

As well as weeding and raking over all the remaining beds ready for the tomatoes and other stuff to be planted.

And finally we planted the first of the three troughs with cascading Petunias. Hopefully these will start fully flowering in the next month or so, to produce a nice front piece to the plot.

But finally the sunshine defeated us. Another Sunny Bank Holiday! What is going on in the world? This just isn't cricket, old bean.

Time to pick some Pak Choi for dinner, and an armful of rhubarb for yet more Rhubarb and Ginger Jam.
