Progress - mainly unaided

Above:  the first "harvest" on 8th July.  Courgettes, peas (very young, probably too soon), basil, onions and garlic tops.

As you know I have been instructed by the medics not to do a number of things - and that has included the more physical aspects of gardening.  Instead, I have floated around with the secateurs, clipping and snipping and giving the  impression I know what I am doing!  Ha! Ha!

Therefore everything is even more random than usual.  For example, whilst ox-eye daisies are a cheerful inclusion for the late spring, my flower beds were over-run by them and ultimately, swamped other plants.  So, Leuceanthemum vulgare certainly lived up to its reputation as an invasive perennial herbaceous species with a creeping root system and subsequently  I have been up-rooting it as much as possible and attempting to rescue other plants.  In all honesty, it has not been terribly successful!
However, if you don’t look too carefully the gardens personal progress over the past couple of months whilst I have been out-of-action, is quite impressive.  Its amazing what a lot of rain and the odd warm, sunshine-y day can produce!
