After the rain - new growth.

No watering needed this week, thank goodness!
We were pleasantly surprised to see that our broad bean plants, which were almost dead after drought and black fly, are producing new growth, and maybe we'll get some beans after all.

Broad beans with a new lease of life


The flowers of runner beans "Celebration" and "Saint George" are looking very attractive at the moment.

Flowers look good, and beans will taste equally good.


It's time to pull out the old dry growth of plants like land cress which have dropped their seeds by now.
These seeds will germinate to give us salads in autumn through till next spring.

Self-seeding salad crops make life easy for us.
