Last week was so busy with the remodeling and my exam, that I didn't have time to go to my garden until Saturday. When I came I saw the remodelling some pidgeons and a mole had done on my garden. Tonight dh will finish the new part of our deck in the back garden, which connects the french doors to the existing deck and afterwards I will make some pictures and post them tomorrow. I'm really happy with the small potting table we bought, it's under the kitchen window and I already used it for repotting some seedlings and a few house plants. I used to do that at the garden table and make a mess. I made another batch of elderflower cordial, which you dilute with water for a very refreshing drink. I have been making this for a few years now and dh and I love it when the weather is hot. Today I have my last exam and then I'm done for this year. By the way, I did manage to pass my exam from last week, got the results over the weekend by mail (got to love technology), but I don't have much hope for today's exam. I haven't prepared properly with all things going on last week, but maybe I'll qualify for a resit. We'll see, and if not I can take the class some other time. Have a nice day! blessings, Ellen

The pidgeons had feasted on my cabbage patch, but I don't think they did permanent damage. I immediately put a net over that patch and another small one, where I planted Brussel sprouts last weekend. The mole had gone under one of my pumpkin plants and damaged its roots, but after pushing it down and giving it enormous amounts of water, I think it will survive. I have little zucchini's in the making and tiny, tiny pumpkins, tomatoes and cucumbers, they are fun to watch. 
But our first treasures were several kinds of lettuces and some radishes (I ate a few just there and then). Oh and luckily my second sowing of runner beans (a different kind this time) has been succesful so far, almost all have come up.
All we need now is a rain barrel and the garden is ready. Comments
