...a note to self for next year
- don't bother growing Runner Beans
as seedlings for transplanting!

by insects during the night!
Purple Orach (Mountain Spinach)- a colourful 'greens' plant for summer.
More colour in the Red Bor Kalebut I think it would be happier growing through winter.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot of the pigeon pair, so cute!!! We have been seeing lots of spotted neck pigeons too. At least they have better manners than some birds. They don't mess up the mulch or steal our strawberries. :)
