July 9 'R' Garden

gladiola buds are filling out

beans are climbing - I've added a Scarlet Runner and Jennings bean to the mix

should the chard stay or go???  time will tell, but it is rather dominating the garden ....... 

July 7 Beds 10/11 and 64

a quick pop in - trellis in Bed 64 has been propped up, but the trellis in Bed 10 continues to lean ......

a nice picking of Alderman peas for shelling
