    Had help to take rest of a GH frame to the plot today and will take the last of the glass tomorrow.

    Haven't had chance to go to the plot much as friends have been staying but plan to go tomorrow. 

    Hope you do well at the show, Gg.

    I find paths of bark so much easier, the bark does need adding to each year and if you can"t get it for free, me thinks a good investment.

    Good luck for the show Garden Girl.image I have been watching Charlie Dymock too, a bit cheesy, but at least its about gardening!!

    Went up to the plot Saturday night to do watering, all I had time for. Harvested some more cougettes Patty pans etc and more beetroot, all been fantastic this year. Planted more peas, had better success growing from seed in greenhouse than sowing direct. 

    Made some more Panacotta's yesterday for pudding, this time served with blackberry coulis (picked from plot) yumm!!! 

    thanks for the tip about roasting the artichokes GWRS

    Starting to rain here now, we really need it, its been so dry lately.

    have a good week everyone
