Yup, pretty colours....

It turns out that digging the veg bed over was possible, so I did manage to get a fair bit done in the garden after all yesterday.

I chickened out of riding this morning, though, and just left Mike to it. I also chickened out of even trying to put my boots on, and of going for my Pilates session.

And our resident badger seems to have an upset stomach.

On the plus side, more work in the veg bed this morning (before it got too hot), so now the mange tout and beans are planted out. So are both of the pea plants that actually did anything, out of about sixteen planted from a brand new pack of peas: I may complain to Suttons, especially as I had very bad germination from the french beans as well.



I suspect that we'll have courgettes in a few days, as they're already flowering.

The bales of hay are for the squash: they've got an empty space in the middle, which we're filling up with (raw) manure, and then we'll put small heaps of compost on top and put the plants into those. Apparently works very well as long as you keep the hay bales damp so that they break down (we've been hosing them down), and will have the added benefit of providing a load of nice organic matter to spread over the bed for next year.
