So last week Paddy and I posted about the mouse that ate our scarlet runner beans, well this week the plant has packed it in…
All the leaves curled up and died and then fell off the plant…
Paddy read somewhere that rats and mice will tend to avoid areas with cat or dog smells.
Anyway we have had some luck with the cucumber plants…
Cucumbers plants are actually from the gourd family, and here’s a good example of the fruit…
although some of the previous cucumbers have not set…
Poor cucumbers look like they needed a drink…
The self-sown rocket plants are now seeding the next generation…
Paddy is excited because this tomato plant has finally decided to grow…
It was planted out of season and was completely dormant for about 3 months.
Our indeterminate climbing beans are still producing sporadic flowers.
Paddy says that its time for some more weeding…
or else you’ll get eaten by the troll under the car…
