SLABS 'N' SUNFLOWERS

The weather today was absolutely glorious - hot, hot, hot - so it was out to the garden to get on with some autumn jobs.

Iain has taken a break from solving the world's ... Scotland's ... energy crisis and spent the whole afternoon digging away a bank of earth and then laying slabs behind the garage. It really is the last "landscaping" job to do.

I planted these sunflowers late June as it was so wet and cold all through May and early June. I did not think they would flower ... but they did!

This gives the basic idea of how the garden has shaped up. That is the kiddie's park in the centre distance.

And this sums up the total bean crop harvest. Like the potatoes ... it is a not-to-be-repeated exercise!
