The garden is a mess. Each morning it looks like more dissolute partying had been occuring over night, with certain plants not quite able to right themselves after the revelleries. And a whole row of leaning Black Cherries which look as if one man down, and they’ll all follow suit.
Here it is with the shadows which are cast by the morning sun. It’s the time of year when the shadows change in character from a place of retreat, for respite from the heat to a place where chiaroscuro sharp edges hem you in dungeon like darkness.
Still given the weather they’re having to cope with and a blight watch warning text arriving on Friday, I’m just glad everything is still here in some shape and form.
And cropping has been good this week : 6.9kg of tomatoes. So some more sunshine from above and a bit of TLC from me and hopefully there will still be plenty of good tomato days to come.
