Rats, runners and the first cyclamen
There's so much going on I'm not sure where to start. Here follows the bullet point approach to blogging- tomatoes: usual story, plants pressed against the roof, some but not many tomatoes
- runner beans: a glut beyond gluttony
- carrots: large, firm, carroty. A collection of worthy contenders for Blackadder's 'most offensive carrot' competition
- peppers and chillies: lots, but still green and I want them red
- pumpkins: defeated the snails, but still small (I planted a baby variety - what do you expect!)
- sunflowers: where's there survival instinct? 7ft high and still no flower. Come on guys!
Other stuff:
- shade tunnel: ground clearance is complete, weed control sheeting is down. As the pictures show I've moved the plants in already, but the tunnel is interestingly absent...
- behind the wall: OH wants a 'garden furniture shed'. There's posh
- the 2" diameter tunnel that's appeared under the box hedge is a rat tunnel, by common BBC gardening MB consensus
- the cyclamen are flowering amongst the leaves of the geranium striatum that I bought earlier this year. A perfect case of the flower 'borrowing' the leaves of another plant.
