1 August 2023 Beechbrae

(2hrs) My rowan tree was full of baby great tits this morning :) To Beechbrae, more trimming of herbs to stop them flowering (offcuts used in my lunch salad, pics) added strings in the polytunnel for peas, harvested strawberries and broad beans. I also made some observations in and around the veg plot, including berries on the potatoes (a result of the very wet and warm weather, and poisonous to eat - you can really see that potatoes are the same family as my solanum bush in my garden, the fruit and flowers are very similar). Also noticed a cabbage white caterpillar and weird mushrooms. Finally, we restored the ring of stones bordering the fire pit, which were almost lost in the moss and grass.
