Long Over Due - UPDATE

Where does the time go???

We have done soooooooooooooooo much since my last post, but so little in the garden due to the weather.

Remember that lovley picture of my cabbages - they didn't remain lovley for long. Some thing ate their way through most of them we only managed to eat 2 of them. But we have managed to eat our way through a few runners, french beans, tomatos and courgettes (we have had many of these, so many I made chutney with them, more of this later). To my horror quite a few of my sweed have split this is due to the amount of rain we have had!!!! Yesterday morning I had another shock when inspecting the vegggie patch, my tomato plants have started to turn brown!! (BLIGHT)I have discovered that we are not the only ones to be suffering the effects of the bad weather. My very very good friends Patsy & Dave have also been hit hard on the veggie front - they live in suffolk and due to the land beeing very flat and heavy clay it has been really awful for them.

Take a look at Patsy's blog, I would kill to live like them.http://2007goodlife.blogspot.com/ .

The kids briefly got the chance to enjoy the pool, Ronan spent most of the time teasing his friends about not getting in even though he wouldn't get in either!!!! Pot Kettle and Black spring to mind.
