It's a joy to work in the garden, with views of the harbour, but I have to be careful not to be distracted.
The cucumbers planted nearby are still tiny, but the rampicante squash is rambling all over. Tastes pretty good (like a courgette/zucchini) when young, but I’m looking to store the big one.

And there are some edible plants that keep going and going. I love how the walking onions are gradually moving around the vegetable patch.
I love watching the bees do their work around the garden. Especially in the broad bean bed.
