It's raining again!
Le jardin is looking so green and bushy, must be the days and nights and days and nights of rain we've been having! Yesterday things cleared up a little, we even put sun cream on a one point, so I grabbed my camera to take a few pics of what's 'growing' on...
It may look a bit wild and untamed but it's really all quite orderly, with most things in neat little rows!

| swiss chard, courgettes and leeks |
 |
| corn, carrots, beans and potatoes |
 |
| beetroot & carrots |
Apart from the peas, which started rotting, nothing seems to have suffered from the 'monsoon'! I was slightly worried about the potatoes so we dug a few up to see, and they are doing fine - just a bit small for the moment.

I planted some borage next to my courgette plants to protect them from slugs, unfortunately it doesn't work on garden pests of the furry kind!
 |
| mirabelle plums |
 |
| black currants |
I was even so bold as to make some sun tea - herbs and fruit brewed all day in the sun and left in the fridge over night - for a refreshing hot summers day drink. Unfortunately it's wet and cold again today!
And how does your garden grow this summer?
Is the weather causing you worry too?
