Most of this months pictures were the result of one weekend’s endeavours. A two pronged assault during a sunny break in the middle of the month proved to be an excellent opportunity for pulling the plot together.

Blimey, July is a busy month. I’ve been on the plot almost every day and yet don’t seem to have done anything constructive. The time is taken up by watering and picking crops (not that I’m complaining), with precious little time for making any last minute sowings. I haven’t had much time for blogging...

So June has been and gone and I can’t believe I managed to miss the summer solstice. I was pleased to discover while putting together this months – Month in Pictures, that I was at least on the plot on the 21st – sowing more carrots. If the summer solstice is also known as...
