Busy Busy Busy

I have been neglecting my blog due to being overworked. My plot is amazing and I have enjoyed a mixture of salad leaves, a couple of cucumbers a week, tomatoes and some scrummy broccoli.
I have planted some butternut squash and cant wait to see if they fruit. They are growing nicely.
I have bought my biggest bargain on the car boot this week. Enough black plastic to cover my whole plot, not that I will. All for eight pounds! I cant wait to get the paths and edges tidied up.
I have given up growing raspberries as I have found bushes full of them growing wild and no one picks them! I have been picking blackberries all month with my boys and making smoothies with them. The boys love them with ice cream. Free fruit tastes so much better.
My potatoes have stored well and we still have a box full which will last to early autumn.
In a first season this has exceeded my expectations and I am looking forward to years of this. Each year growing something new.
Mentally I feel focused and rich with an understanding that nature is a cure.
