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

Corn flowers

Several of the corn now have tassels (I think that’s the right flower? the male one?). They’re not in the least blue though:-) We also now have some continental tomatoes fruiting.

I finally started to stake them yesterday—I know it’s something you’re meant to do gradually as they grow, but I haven’t felt up to doing it during Puggle’s nap in the middle of the day, and it’s a bit too fiddly to do with him around. But I got to it yesterday evening so I can now see the gazillions of romas! And at least two of the continentals (plain round).

I’m thinking next year I’d like to try growing some heirloom varieties from seed—I’ve seen a collection that has five different coloured ones:-) And some purple carrots:-) That would be cool…
