    Went to Gresgarth Hall open garden day yesterday. The garden of Arebella Lennox Boyd, love the way she has grown her fruit tree's in the veg garden.

    Went to water the GH on plot. Picked some Tom's and courgette's. Lots of runner beans now.

    Called into allottment on the way home , from meetings in Boston but also got some spray for marestail  , then to a wood yard for some wood to make a new raised bed and did a bit of watering 

    just having a drink in garden , thinking about a bit of dead heading , another nice sunny day image

    GWRS I was thinking make it as difficult as possible with the shed not sure now, they did say to write on things with permanent pen your plot and the site name

    With your wild flower is that the dried plants in the back ground of the dahlias they are corn cockle  - what is going into your new raised bed?

    Zoomer44 open garden sounded nice 

    Ginagibbs great pic of your allotment, good luck with the awards

    still waiting on who had the best plot on the allotment site that entered theirs in, it cost them a £1 to entre - they did not have the results at the show so going to do it at a AGM meeting in Sept - what a long wait,  I wanted to find out who it was but the results were not in yet

    Gardengirl , not sure yet what will go in raised bed , soil a bit sandy so will be adding compost to beef it up image

    Went to the plot today and took more flag stones. 

    Picked Tom's, lettuce, my first aubergine, pulled up the onions and have loads of runner beans and dwarf French

    As I clear stuff was going to mulch the soil and cover some area's for next Spring.
