Bounty

If we had started our gardening venture last year we would have been washed away.....this year we are sizzling in the hottest temperatures ever......
Well, we like a challenge!



The zinnias have started flowering....at least they like it hot....
 the first cucumbers harvested and the tomatoes are going on apace..
 courgettes...beetroot and of course sweet peas... if you are near the shop we have fresh cut sweet peas in daily at the moment...they sell out fast though....

the view from here......we must have counted 50 bees on this finished crop of cornflowers and clary sage...we are leaving the plants in until the bees have had their fill and seriously thinking of putting a few hives in next year....Martin & The Magpie Honey anyone??

Of all things the Pacific NW coast is experiencing cooler weather (anything below 60 degrees F is not going to produce much tomatoes...).
Bee hives sounds like a great idea!
Just love to catch up and see what has been happening near you!
Thanks for sharing,
