Roses in the Rain

 This is going to be a good year for the roses which is surprising since it has been so dry.




It was very wet today. We did visit the garden to water the polytunnel. I was thankful that all the yurters and campers got such a good week during the half term school holidays because it was pretty miserable.

Anne had put up the bunting which was flapping forlornly in the strong winds. This year I have made it with deck chair fabric which I hope will last longer.

I had to tie in most of the sunflowers as I didn`t want to lose any. I was very glad that we had constructed most of the framework some time ago.


Alstromeria has just started flowering.


 
 I do not understand why these pinks haven`t been eaten by rabbits but here they are.
Incredible perfume.
 
All crops are looking amazing after the rain. I never thought the courgettes would recover.
 
Broad beans
Onions
Courgettes
My goodness there will be some weeds next time.
 
My brother bought us this netting so we have mounted it on an old yurt pole and we hope the cucumbers will climb up it
(and possibly some ipomea)
It was a quick visit. We were wet and a bit cold. All I could think of was my p.j`s.
