July: Weed power versus people power !

An interesting gourd... Wait util it grows to its full size. Its is called  squash tromboncino.

Winter squash or is it summer squash ? I should know, as I planted it but I cannot remember

Ah, and courgettes...

This looks strange. Yes you may have guessed that under the net we have sweet corn

Each year I grow sweet corn. As soon as the cobs begin to grow some predator gets at it, even peels the husk and gets to the corn. So this year I decided to put a net over these tall plants. I wonder if the corona the cob will survive ?

We have more courgettes and few yellow raspberries and blackberries

What beautifully scents, plant and gorgeous flowers. This is bergamot... 

Not sure what use I can put this to, apart just enjoying its fragrance and the lovely shaped flowers

Here we have artichokes now in full bloom, great for bees

This was huge strawberry bed, covered in strawberries and then nothing. Before they ripened all the strawberries just disappeared, despite the net I had put over them. Now the strawberry plants are covered in weeds. This is a job waiting to be done. The idea is to dig out all the strawberry plants and use the runners to start a new bed. Then of course weed the whole of this huge bed.

We have got more slabs...GREAT, we can now lay them around the edge of our garden, to stop the weeds taking over that side path

Hopefully will control some of the weed power
