In My Garden

So I've realised that setting specific days aside for writing certain posts is not working for me! I thought it would help with my organisation and blogging goals but it's actually caused me a lot of stress and worry and, well, failure. I have missed some already and it's only week 2 or 3???? Anyway, so what I've decided to do is try to commit myself to posting about my chosen topics each week at some point, rather than having a dedicated day for each one. That makes me feel a lot more free and relaxed and, if you know me at all then you'd know  that free and relaxed has got to be a very good thing.

So, although In My Garden had initially been dedicated to Fridays I am now freeing it up for any day of the week {so too Time For A Recipe and In The Nest and maybe even The LEarning Is Everywhere???}.

OK, now that I'm all explained out {and I've justified my slackness} here's a look at my garden this past week...

Woo hoo! The tomatoes are finally starting to ripen. It's been a long time coming but sooo worth it. There's nothing better than fresh, home grown tomatoes, is there? One has a big bird bite out of it already. The little buggers!

This is the first cuey of the season. Late late late.. It's got a little split in it but I'm sure it'll be edible.

The King Purple climbing beans are starting to go mad. So happy. I love these things. Not only are they great to eat but they look so pretty in the garden. The deep purple bean is gorgeous against it's bright green, leafy leaves. Lovely!

  Hello! Snow peas in summer???? Yep! They're edible too. They self seeded from my winter/spring crop and I've got a few plants now fruiting.  My good old faithful is in full bloom again...Pierre de Ronsard of course! These are the beans on the Indian Bean tree. They look so edible and yummy. But I don't think they are???? This tree is like a beanstalk from Jack and the Beanstalk. People are always commenting on how much it's grown and continues to grow. It obviously loves water and wet feet as it's had that pretty much all summer. It's the only explanation I have as I haven't treated it all that well {unless neglect is a form of plant love???}.

Oh, and I should have really shown you the state of my lawn and the weeds in some of my flower gardens. But I haven't due to total embarrassment. They are shockingly bad. I've conquered many but there's now just as many more to attack. Oh the pros and cons of a wet summer!

How's your garden growing this week?
