Gosh it's getting dark !

I've been plotteying for the past couple of nights, but wanted to get up to the lottie and crack on with things, so went up after work tonight but only for 1 1/2 hours. It just seemed to gloomy and dark after that.

Still I managed to get the panel secured to the posts and give it a coat of paint. Lesson learned = paint before you start putting together ! Much easier. So the next couple of visits will be spent painting !

On the growing front - there's been precious little rain for weeks now and the plot is really dry and dusty.

I gave everything a good soak at the weekend but the yellow wax beans are really doing nothing at all. Maybe one or two pods but that's it.

The Gigantes beans are cropping well. Just hope there's time for them to fatten up and dry.

The last courgette had been slugged and was going mouldy. That's the end of the lottie courgettes, just got the ones on the plot left now. The broad beans are still cropping and growing which is very pleasing. I'll definitely be getting a few successional sowings done for next year. Will sow some Aquadulce Claudia next month, and followed by The Sutton and see how long we can get the season to last.

Ahmed's Bosnian Pumpkin is just going bloody mad. It's definitely grown since last time I was up. Didn't take a pic but put it on a newspaper to keep it off the soil. Found a wee baby slug so hope they've not discovered it !

OK here's the fence, or at least one panel of it. There's another 6 panels/panels to erect. Once the top trough is filled with flowers, I reckon it will look damn nice.
Imagine some bright yellow and orange nasturtiums climbing all over the fence next year.

Fandabi.
