Toby had a couple of hours of respite on Saturday which went quite well. He's visiting for a few hours at a time and building up to a full day at the end of August. It was lovely to have a little weekend time to myself (Amy was busy writing a story) and I made the most of it by dodging the rain showers and tidying up the fruit and veg beds.
Some things have done really well this year - french beans among them. These are a delicious yellow variety called Rocquencourt and we've had loads.
Other things have not grown so well, including my potatoes. I dug up a whole potato sack that I'd planted with 5 tubers back in March and this was all I got for my weeks of careful tending!
Pretty pathetic really, my harvest doesn't even fill a small paper bag!
Don't think I'll be bothering with tatties next year, unless anyone has any good growing tips?
