August randomness.


We've been so busy planting, harvesting, watering, weeding & preserving that my blog has been neglected so here's a quick catch up in pictures.










caterpillar control, I never realised that shield bugs like to munch caterpillars.



My 2 hens are in moult but they are such good girls that I'm still averaging 9/10 eggs a week.


The allotment has also kept me in flowers through the summer.
