    Ooh lovely Dove, Happy Birthday Monty, I'll remember it now because it's the same day as my 'Nigel' who is 6 today image I hope he enjoys his new potatoes, that's why he mentioned his birthday wasn't it because he said they are usually ready for his birthday??

    Oh they look lovely!!



    Rain clouds have appeared Dove - yet to empty themselves. Perhaps they're waiting until 17:00 to make the drive home more fun!

    OL brill image Yes they keep growing. When you have a glut image blanche them, chill quickly and serve drizzled with lemon & olive oil. image

    I just had a sneaky taste of a raw one.......delicious (if I do say so myself) image I have them growing in 3 different places and am monitoring which ones do best, at the moment it's not the ones in planters on the veg patch which is surprising.  The one in a black Morrison's bucket is the biggest plant but the 2 with my sweet peas have produced most beans image

     We've had some great times messing about on boats in Turkey.  Loved the boat trip piccy.

     The rain has made an appearance so lawns well watered and water butt full.
