Is it summer now ??

 well i think its summer now.
hope so anyway the plants are loving it but so are those darm bugs the b*"**""s. been hit with green fly black fly and those pretty yet destructive white butterfly's (or should i say there darling children the catapillers).going to make up netting next week ready for when the next lot of purple sprouting broccoli,callbrise ,swede and turnips go out ..loving the callbrise as you can see on the right there growing realy well and we have already had three meals from three plants with about ten left to head and then we will have the side shoots that should produce a good meal or two..must say of all that i have had from the garden this year the calbrise have been my fav..we had some for tea last week and the taste was like nothing iv ever had  SO SO SO MUCH FLAVOUR.

after the rain i thought id do a update ...RIGHT THEN..

how amazingly beautiful are these courgette flowers .i was stunned when i open the greenhouse to see these stairing back at me 
a few days of torrential rain and then beautifull sunshine (on my days off too) ..so this morning i ventured ot to the garden to do this update ..
everything is growing so fast now especially the  cucumber with i posted about on the vine a day or so ago because of the rate of growth as i was unsure as to weather this was the norm or if i had some mutant strain that was likly to brake in to the house in the middle of the night and eat the contents of our kitchen unhappy with the amount of feed i hve been providing..
all has realy been the same here in our family misses still moans about the amount of time i spend in the garden but is happy to go out and pick and eat any strawbs and salads that are ready before i get back from work .then i get that same old tired excuse of (the baby was out in the garden and pickt the strawbs today  ???yer yer yer wot ever woman talk to the hand..also while im haveing the moan i just made a sandwich WHY is there never enuff mayo in our house????so any way here a few pics of the last month.
