I think we all have to hang in there for the sun. On the soil front, I am hoping to source some farm yard manure to improve the soil here, which is terrible too. It will only improve over a couple of years work and I am looking at the no-dig method for part of the garden as it gets so waterlogged. Keep well, HughHorti Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06888785063008537676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738627600922521167.post-83101470626993082152012-07-06T19:55:36.663+01:002012-07-06T19:55:36.663+01:00Hi Hugh!

We harvested some peas earlier this week, about 2 desert spoonfuls between us! They were very tasty, delicious in fact, better than any we've ever had, but looks as if that's the only peas we're going to get this year.

I have just been squelching around in the heavy sticky soil trying to get rid of the many weeds. Ah well, that's gardening for you!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08979390044895652899noreply@blogger.com
