Inside
the poly tunnel as you can see, the tomatoes have taken over. I have
all sorts of things keeping them upright - one is held in position by
a pitchfork, another by a twisted peice of metal wire hanging on a
thread, another leans against the wall poked behind the bar... Plenty
of toms and flowers going though!
As
you can see, I do have a few other items- basil and chives for
example. Also, a couple sacks of leaves turning into leaf mould and a
compost bag and watering can or two....
In
the yard itself - I did have a clear border with a few herbs and
tomatoes and corn...but...alas the bindweed took over! The corn and
toms are still doing ok though!
September
has now arrived and the above shot shows the produce collected at the
close of last month from yard and poly tunnel along with the first
Sunday of this month's garden haul. Below you can see one of the
plants my friend Liz gave me is doing well - despite the bindweed.
Alas
said bindweed has remained in situ and grown steadily over the four
weeks that I was unable to do much more than drag a lame leg to the tunnel
to water and crop a few toms...
YES!
Finally, the neighbor has erected a new fence - a dog proof fence -
meaning I am safe to roam my own yard at all hours once more without
fear of another biting session.
