This is the last of the eryngiums, they are all fading out now. 🙁

A friend sent me these images of a nest of grass snakes he had incubated after finding them in his compost heap.

I saw this tree on my travels last weekend. You don’t see many of these in this country to be honest. So I was impressed with this.

Here are a selection of flowers from around my garden. I have been trying to spend a little more time in it this year. It is a little more rewarding than the plot as it doesn’t require so much weeding. Also, it is more colourful at the moment.

I have had to do a few jobs around the house recently, and popping out into the garden to potter in between has kept me sane.

I also picked some runner beans this weekend, you can see them here with the sweet peas and corn.

Notice also the courgette. One plant has grown significantly, though only has this small fruit on it. The other plant has flowers, but is stunted for some reason?

I’ve been up the plot today to do some weeding and also to pick some fruits of my labours.

As you can see form the pics below, there there are a lot of them coming on this year so I may actually get to eat one.
