Summer's here

1st of June. Officially the first day of the summer calendar. And of course that means Strawberries...

Not many at the moment, but there promises to be a good harvest from the Strawberry Empire.

But it looks like the Onions may be over. They have dropped all their leaves, and seem to be the worse for wear. Not sure if we should just pull them no and cut our losses.

I dug the third and final of the clay beds. There are four of the Honey Bear Squash now planted in there. Though I think we're going to have to start sprouting some more courgettes to replace the ones eaten by the slugs.

Being part of the Bread Club I have a lot of flour on hand. However some of the flour seemed to have a bit of a weevil infestation, so instead I've sprinkled the flour on the courgettes in an attempt to dissuade the slugs. I'll let you know whether the remains of the plants are saved.

Else where the turnips are in full growth...

...but after pulling one of them, they don't seem to be in any hurry to bulb up their root. May take a while.

But the trough I planted last week has started blooming quite well. Soon they'll be a cascade of petunias down the sides.

Things are looking pretty good on the plot. Though we still have to consider what to do about the tomatoes.

Maybe we'll make a decision tomorrow.
