That's our apple harvest in.
4 reasonable sized fruits and if these are as sweet and crisp as the 1st I will be really happy.

A very productive day
In addition to putting a cabinet together with my daughter I had time in the garden.

Pruned back the curry plant and artemisia as they were taking over.

My roses are still flowering!

The squash and carrot harvest

And now cooking down crab apples for pectin

Time for the inaugural grape harvest.

Not too shabby seeing we have no idea what we're doing.
AND we're in Glasgow which is not renowned for its sunny climes.

Attacking the couch grass this month.
More cardboard down, LOTS of roots lifted and sometimes just a burn it all attitude

My husband has been a star doing the heavy digging, lifting & burning. There's no way I would have this much done without him

Small but perfectly formed. Our first bunch of grapes. Not bad considering their growing outside in Glasgow

Late start but a productive afternoon
I set up my potato harvesting station , the potato plants had almost all died back at this point so we emptied all the bags.
Then David did his Hulk impersonation and lifted all the remaining path stabilisers.

These are figleaf gourds, many thanks to the crochet student who gave me the seeds

Loads of flowers and baby gourds growing. It's a prolific plant.

They're so pretty I'm loathe to cook them

I can't sleep so up at 6 and in the garden at 7. Still staying in the shade as I can feel the heat.
Quick weed in the front garden, focus there is getting the tubs watered.
Then planting up some leeks while David puts together 2 more raised beds.
