We returned from holiday in the Tyrol to discover that not t0o much damage had been done to the vegetable plot by our desertion. One starwberry plant tooked too dehydrated to survive but there was little other fall out.
The garden is now staring to look productive. Flowers are appearing on the beans and the onions, as well as the non-productive but colourful inhabitants of the garden. It seems perverse, give the crisis facing bees, but we seem to have more visits from bees (both bumblebee and honeybee) than usual. Perhaps we are noticing them more by spending more time in the garden or perhaps the ecology has changed and become more inviting.
The chickens now recognise a spade at 100 yards and know it is associated with worms. Basil has not learnt how to be helpful in the garden.
