After the heatwave the UK is enjoying much needed rain.
I have done a blog post about my recent Paris trip on my other blog HERE
I have been busy this week planting carrot, parsnip, fennel, rocket, fenugreek, spring onions and more on my allotment.
I got two huge dog water bowls from the recycle centre for £2 each, perfect as a bird bath and to provide drinking water for passing foxes or deer.
Back soon, how's your week going?
My son, daughter in law and granddaughter arrived in the UK yesterday in the rain. On their way to north Wales.
ReplyDeleteI’ll have a look at your other blog!
They will have a wonderful time, Wales has some beautiful places and countryside
DeleteWonderful! I love allotments, even though I don’t have one! I used to spend time on my grandad’s allotment when I was little and I was fascinated by what went on there! I’ve grown Fennel this year, just for fun! I only have one raised bed and have managed to squeeze the plants into it! Lovely blog! Sal 😁
ReplyDeleteAny space however small is worth growing on. Well done!. It's so rewarding, you can put up canes and do sone climbers to get maximum fro. Your space. I love fennel, it's so pretty
DeleteYour allotment is looking amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, it gives me a lot of happiness
DeleteYour allotment is looking wonderful Betty. I am pleased to read you did get some rain at last. It just gives the garden such a good drink. xx
ReplyDeleteWe need more!
DeleteMy son, daughter in law and granddaughter are in the UK at the moment, and had rain on their first day. Hope for them the weather gets better.
ReplyDeleteYour allotment appears to be doing well.
ReplyDeleteI read your other blog ( about your trip to Paris) and am amazed when I think of how close the UK is to France and other European countries.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time! Keep right on enjoying your summer.
Yes we have the eurotunnel and it takes us less time to visit France than the UK coastal resorts!
DeleteLove this
ReplyDeleteHello John thanks for visiting
DeleteLovely photos. Isn't it wonderful to get some much needed refreshing rain. Warm greetings from a very hot 🔥 🥵 and humid Montreal, Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to Autumn
DeleteHow thoughtful....... drinking water for passing foxes and deer.
ReplyDeleteWe have so many urban foxes, also muntjac deer... the UK Just had a heatwave Haddock, there are also large open water containers for us to dunk our cans next to some taps. So I think birds must use that source :)
DeleteYour allotment looks amazing, so professional and neat. I think you need to do a video like those we used to watch on Gardeners World during lockdown! Those tomatoes ....wow! xxx
ReplyDeleteWill do!
DeleteDear Betty 🥰
ReplyDeleteI was happily surprised to hear from eldest son that he is liking the rain after hot weather. For the first time he found rain good which shows that UK had quite warm weather lately
Your allotment looks awesome.I really admire how you invest your energy into something very uplifting and productive 🤗👍♥️
Your way of living is inspiring my friend 🥰♥️
Much love and best wishes to you and loved ones 🙏♥️
Yes London was sweltering with a heatwave but now its breezy. Sunny. Light rain. The perfect mix. We have some big parks. I expect your son has been to Hyde Park which is very central but there is also Hampstead Heath in north London and many more he can enjoy.
