It's a busy time and there are a few photos of our recent adventures starting with the allotment at West Moors where the forst picture captures the lovely veg bed of tomatoes, leeks, beetroot, carrots, more beetroot and the various beans, runners, dwarf French and Climbing French beans. Then there is peas, lettuce, spinach and broad beans followed by our peas and redcurrants. We have been enjoying strawberries and the redcurrants at home for a few days now, along with lots of autumn sown broad beans, lettuce and spinach. We are very fortunate to have such a lovely plot with more at Wimborne too.
In addition, I have grown lots of herbs this year, for the first time. There are pots and pots of basil, parsel, chives, coriander and also lettuce leaves. These are a constant accompaniment to our food ans taste so good.
This morning I was at a farm near Chettle to enjoy a training session on identifying pollinators and the sunshine made all the difference with butterflies, bees, wasps, hoverflies, beetles and so on all showing up. I've also been stopping out on the bike to enjoy the views locally and walking between 6 and 7 miles a day, so I am getting my fill of nature and vitamin D.
The next bog thing is the festival over the weekend with Ragcity 3 the biggest one yet. The tickets have sold out but there is space for more people so it is going to be interesting to see just how far sales can go. Glen is so excited!
