This beautiful weather continues. We were thankful for some good heavy showers the other day though. Crops are coming on well - beans swelling, more mange tout seeming to appear overnight, lettuces superb. I've heard complaints about slugs this year, but no real problems here - they can't be liking the dryness. In the polytunnel the pumpkins and squash are starting to take off (so to speak), and it's becoming ever more obvious that they are far too close together. I will have to bite the bullet and take plants out, painful as it will be.
Everything else is also growing away fast. We got a good crop of hay in last week, and the trusty scythe slashed through hundreds of nettles, thistles and docks this morning. The pigs are putting on the pork too. We will home slaughter and get bloody in July. Black hen's broody again, and is sitting on a mixed bag of 6 eggs from a neighbour with a fine cockerel and a variety of hens.
Much to do - a quince, a mulberry and some shrubs from a plant sale to go in just now...
