Guess I was too busy to actually post anything, but thought I could just add a few shots of the successful crops we had late Summer 2009.Overgrown Courgettes after being babysat while we were on holiday! The Cucumbers were a success and we will be doing these again this year. Lettuce nested among the marigolds! Pumpkins supported by tights to stop them snapping under the weight! And then being cooked ready for Pumkin Pie... Tom thought these giant courgettes were funny!
We just love visits from gorgeous little Bumble Bees in our garden.
