​May
Picture
After the coldest April since records began - having frosts every night and no rain (but lots of sunshine),
the weather has at last broken - and all us gardeners and plants are happy -
things are growing and playing catchup for lost time!
We are mowing, growing, planting out, punting on the moat to get brambles and other unwanted greenery off the moat walls,
​constructing, watering, weeding...
​We hope to have a spectacular sunflower display this year, and a very colourful potager.

​June

We've gone from cold nights to rather hot hot hot sweltering days! 
The plants are loving the weather, and we are eating copious amounts of rhubarb, salady things and radishes.
The sunflowers are all planted and we have lost surprisingly few to the slugs and other odd reasons.
Most of the potager is planted (celeriac, cabbages, kohl rabi, beans and peas, squashes, sweetcorn, beetroot, potatoes...)
The mowing is now happening a lot and the compost area is very active.
In the intense heat we had we were watering watering watering.
Now with more rain we are weeding weeding weeding!
Bring on the summer!
An 'arial' view of the Potager on 28 June

On the 14th June we had a surprise 21st party for Connor - we found it hard to keep it secret for so long,
​and the contributions of snacks, cake and The Axe made for a wonderful memorable afternoon.
