    Hi all :D

    Don't worry folk -I'm not going to bombard you with more photos.. but have been outside watering and thought i would update my latest finds...
    1. All the flowers are now dropping off my broad beans -revealing little pods :D
    2. i have just spotted that 1 of my cucumbers has 7 tiny cumbers on -about 1" so far..and lots more buds..the othe cucumbers are in flower
    3. Im not sure which tomato it is :o but 1 of mine has a flower more like a mini yellow dahlia -will try and get a picture later
    4. 1 lot of potatoes are flowering... lovely lilac flowers with an orange yellow centre -very pretty
    5. and today i fetched a few french beans, runners, pod peas in and along with some chard made a lovely thai beef curry... I know its a shame to put such lovely fresh things into curry -but there wasn't enough for a dinner -and you could still taste each different thing :D
    hope everyone elses are crops are coming along nicely :T

    I even built the shed.......:D

    It was a complete mess when we moved in. There were brambles all round the garden a huge dip from the house onto the lawn and a nasty tarmac path along the side of the house. The whole garden was covered in broken glass and rubbish, some of which I'm still finding. We've been here just two years now and all of the work was carried out by yours truly......:D
