It was a bit of a shock seeing the garden in Spofforth yesterday, the massive hedge which ran along one side of the boundary has been removed and replaced with a fence. This has let in loads more light and considerably widened the planting area, Diana plans to grow espaliered fruit trees along the whole length and is eager to get started, it will look marvellous when it is finished! However there was a lot of mess to be tidied up first, so we tackled moving mounds of soil heaped up by the fence fitters and putting things back in their proper places, hot dirty work but a necessary evil. As a reward we spent the rest of the afternoon picking the harvest, courgettes, sugar snap peas and beautiful baby broad beans, Brian even gave me a lift home as I was laden down with a share of each and four more pots of Diana's assorted fruit jellies, this is the really good bit about lending a hand!
Pics-ladybird on wheat, and a mushroom called The Miller which is edible and tastes of meal. Both snapped on our usual by-pass walk.
