It’s definitely a win for the dahlias today as you can see from this picture of our perennial bed, though the roses are also still in abundance. It’s interesting that the pink dahlias last so much longer in the vase than the yellow ones, and also interesting that I have obviously chosen the same kind of colour palate for both dahlias and roses – pink and yellow!
One of our lettuces has definitely died this week, LOL! Though the other two are just about surviving:
Our two unexpected pea plants continue to grow so I have now tied both these up with string.
But the winning vegetable of the week continues to be our French climbing beans – another good harvest today though not as much as last week:
Whilst there, we took the protection off both our Brussels sprouts beds in order to give them a thorough weeding – the weeds everywhere have been a nightmare this year! And K also strimmed along the edge of the plot too, to make it look neater.
Here is this week’s harvest, which consists of dahlias, roses, alstroemeria, one freesia, sweet peas, a few gerberas, plus soft fruit, one beetroot, one lettuce and French climbing beans.
And here are the vases at home:
Have a lovely Sunday, everyone.
