Thread Name: How is your garden this year?
Subject: RE: How is your garden this year?
Ah, Kat, you always attract my interest with this one!
It has rained and rained this year, and, as soon as it stops, the sun shines with a vengeance. The grass can only be cut when it's dry, so that's about 3 times this year so far. The pretty pink bindweed is in flower, it's going to take years to get rid of it.
Otherwise, I have been harvesting mange-tout peas and soft fruit for a month now, all veg are doing well, the ones that survived the slugs, that is. The chickens and geese have started to moult, so no eggs for a while.
I'm still looking for someone to look after it all whilst we go to Cropready and Whitby! Hwyl, Bron.
