CHECKING IN

Wow, time certainly flies....apologies if you thought I had vanished, its just that the garden really is vety enjoyable to be in, the sun is shining and I simply need to catch up with the planting.
This is a corner bed which is quite shady and in which I have chosen to plant the summer lettuces and some beetroot, hopefully both will flourish.
We are eating potatoes, peas and green beans now, some courgettes on the menu and I am hopeful that the succession planting will pay off.
I have discovered that we have a lot of elferflower in the garden and am going to try and find a recipe for elderflower cordial. Its very refreshing and a great thirst quencher in high summer when I can find another time to put my feet up and admire the garden.
