A few recent pics and garden catch up

 


Yellow Wagtail


2 juvenile whitethroats, their parents were still around keeping an eye on them



Toft Newton Reservoir
Just us two, no fishermen at all nowadays, perfect stillness. Like our own private pond !



Sparrowhawk


Linnet





and a garden warbler, feeding chicks so we left it well alone

And now a few from the garden.....

Our courgettes have been spectacular this year, but to be honest, we are getting a bit fed up of them now and they don't freeze too well so all the neighbours are getting plenty aswell.  Might not grow them next year or perhaps not as many !


Jamaica Dahlia......absolutely spectacular this year !


Fuchsia, they haven't done that well this year and we have hundreds of fuchsia plants. Don't think they like the scorching heat and we were away in June when we had the hottest day so they might have got a bit dry and stressed. The weather seems to have changed this last week and they now all have buds and are looking a lot healthier so hoping for a September flush !


Love a garden bouquet xx





A happy tomato below !!

We are having a fantastic tomato harvest this year, we get a few ponds every day infact yesterday I froze 8lb of them. Our two freezers are filling up and we still have the money makers still to ripen and the main bean harvest to get. A brilliant year, no complaints at all.


The peppers....well just look at them, they are spectacular and so sweet. It's like a harvest festival table !
