It’s been such a mixed year so far; the weather and pests are blamed. But there are successes. This sunflower appeared, growing on it’s own in a polytunnel and is certainly doing it’s own thing. The stem is 6cms thick. There’s one flower at present but there are more buds.

Weeding of course continues, here amongst leek plants which have required covered protection.

Basil as usual is growing well, as are the tomatillo.

And the take-home boxes are pleasingly filling up.
