Walking around the garden I noticed there are some new flowers appearing from the wild seed packet from the garden magazine a few months back, which adds new excitement when you notice them for the first time!

Parsley and celery for cutting are going to seed, and the leeks have a new flower for me to add to salads and where ever I can. Hopefully the parsley and celery will create a living mulch where they are. The parsley is the third or fourth generation of self seeded Italian gigante a few years ago. The celery is the first time flowering for me. I also have a more raddichio style flavoured lettuce from the French mesculin mix going to flower, I am sure the bees will be happy with it. 

Sue likes tickling or as I call it Bandicooting 😂 and showed off some impressive results! Seeing the size of her potatoes, I could not help but have a sneek peak. As I have a small patch I was careful not to break it off. Jersey Bennes are a bit bigger than I hoped, oh well, guess we use them differently and I can use the the basket ones for Christmas new potatoes.

Green beans made a nice fresh crunchy morning snack. This is Blue lake Runner. I have ordered more seed to keep a continuous supply going.

Log3 update.. No photo as I did not want to disturb the humidity domes. But unlike yesterdays disaster these have not even wilted overnight. They have a little light reflected off the grow cupboard doors as they are open today. This looks far more positive than the first attempt. 

Happy weekend everybody.
