The potager coming on

As we move toward mid-July, the crops in the four raised beds are growing prolifically.

And down in the field, the tomatoes are bushing out, as well as reaching upwards.

cucumbers and chillis in near bed, peppers in far bed

a dozen varieties of tomatoes

aubergines, two kinds of basil and chillis in near bed, potatoes in far bed, young lettuces in fruit boxes and roquette gone to seed in the foreground

The flowers at the front of the house have benefitted from nettle juice ...

The strong light of summer and the colours of the garden make this time of year special.
