Summer growth spurt

So summer is well and truly underway! The pond area went literally wild!! It needed some serious neatening up. At one point crouching down by the pond meant I totally disappeared. While it was lovely it was just becoming a bit crazy so we trimmed down just one little part of it. The rest is still really long though. And the frogs are loving it! 





I think it's safe to say the frogs love the plot! 

The apple tree is also starting to look like something this year! I'm really enjoying it- and little apples have now appeared!


I spent some time planting out some cauliflower and beetroot as well. There's also plenty white and red onions on the other side.


The bees are certainly enjoying the flowers on the plot as well.


There's plenty of things growing. The lettuce is happy. There's some courgettes planted out there too, as well as a greenhouse full of tomatoes, bell peppers, sweet red peppers and chillies.




There's still loads to do! But in just over a weeks time I'm spending 3 weeks in Peru taking some students on a school trip- so hopefully my husband will head down a few times and get his hands dirty!!
