I’ve just put the kettle on, join me for a cuppa and a chat.

Plagues and Pestilence…

… well, pests at any rate.

We’ve had the lurgy here. Last week, but Pad and I have both taken a while to recover our energy. Puggle however, is full of it. He’s taken to dragging us around this week.

The pests are in the garden sadly:-( I planted about 20 beans, and about 15 came up. There are now 5 left as the others have been eaten by something.

The butternut are getting their third leaves though, and so far appear not to have been too majorly attacked. Strange that whatever it is is eating the beans only.

‘Something’ is eating the mulberries, but he’s basically sticking to the ripe ones and has worked out how to reach the higher ripe ones all on his own. It does mean we may not get enough for a pie, but they are actually being used which is a good thing:-)

Many tomatoes set on the Roma vines, and many plums. Noticed the first strawberry flower yesterday. Not sure how we’ll deal with the boy and the rest of the produce once he starts noticing it…
