The mid-summer garden

Finally we have some very welcome blue skies above Hill Farm. It's been a funny summer weather wise, very dry but with much more cloud than sun and we've also had more than our share of strong and sometimes cold winds. Despite this we are harvesting peas, beans, potatoes, parsnips, strawberries and raspberries in plenty but so far only one courgette, the sweetcorn is slow and we lost all our second sowing of lettuce and carrots to the slugs. At least we have something home grown to add to every meal at the moment.
