A hill with a hole.at present it contains an invisibuilding gradually emerging into the light of reality.. The Earthworks give generously in ever increasing abundance .Few seem to have noticed that midsummer day has sneeked passed, folk are still waiting for "apropriate", "normal" seasonal weather... I'll discuss global heating/cooling, CO2 Green house gases and whatnot another time.
Forever upwardly mobile, it's not stopping there.
Beetroot, eaten grated raw as salad, smoothied, boiled, pickled or borsch.A kitchen garden essential.
Cabbage just getting started, Lettuce almost ready to eat.
At last... The first of the white flowers of the Greek climbing beans. This is part of my Perrenial climber collection. Three varieties of four now showing. the purple flowering plants are taking their time.
Hearty eating, Kale is my delight.This curly leafed type is an explosion of green , successive plantings in small patches prevents complete crop failure in the event of pestilential attack or poor weather conditions. The Russian Kale has been harvested for it's seed, soon to be returned to the ground.Should be well stocked with that good stuff at least until April.

Top left, Chayotte, a hardy climber.To the right, Runner beans sown afresh are slow to develop.,only a few of the sowings will develop healthy rhizomes. They can be treated as perrenials, producing an earlier and more abundant crop. Mid picture, our carrot patch looks healthy. Lettuce, Calendula and Pansies occupy the bottom row.

Unfinished business, to be continued...
