Wednesday 10th July

We had tours on Tuesday and Wednesday, so not a lot of time in the garden on Tuesday, but I did get started on a new trellis to support the Sweet Pea and Sunflowersalong the fence and added some soil there. Wednesday was fairly wet in the afternoon/evening so I just took photos of Tuesday's work and tried to put some shape on some of the tomatoes which have gone a bit wild with the heat in the last week or so. I also gave them a nettle water feed recently. I'm not sure if the Black Cherry ones are meant to be a bush variety, but they seem to be growing that way so I have left some of them to see what happens.

Sunflowers and Sweet Pea in place, more trellis to be made.

Thursday 11th July

So far today I've just made one more part of the trellis. I hope to get two more out of the roll of wire and will hopefully finish the bed and plant the Sunflowers and Sweet Pea later.
