Replenishing The Vege Patch

Now that the weather has cooled down I can get back out into the garden, and oh boy, does it ever need some attention - the vege patch particularly.

Today I ripped out the tomatoes, lettuce, celery and about three hours of weeds.

My bad - the weeds had flowered and I could see their seeds scattered all over the ground :( means there are going to be a lot more weeds coming back :( My own fault, I didn't keep them under control.

Tomorrow I will dig the area over and plant the pea seedlings and bean seeds I bought today.

I have good results from beans in the past, so I'm looking forward to them.

With the peas I generally find they get powdery mildew (or whatever the equivalent for peas is) pretty quickly, so I'll try get them to grow and fruit fast.

I just love picking fresh peas and beans and eating them fresh off the plants, can't wait!

Hiatus

Apologies for the hiatus. It's been hot and not weather to be even thinking about gardening.

I hope to start updating again in a few days time.
