Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
It's one of those days when you get to discover what's on daytime TV ie mostly cookery programmes. I did see Jamie Oliver make a 15-minute supper of tacos filled with pork and lots of salad (including cucumber). Yummy idea, might try it out.
The nice thing about the rain is, I only have to water the polytunnel (toms, aubergines, cucumbers etc) everything else is getting wet. The bad thing is, I have to go and pick french beans in the rain. AND the other bad thing is, we will get mosquitoes. though, to be honest, I think I prefer mosquitoes to the wasps which have been plaguing us for the past few days. I have been swatting up to 10 per day in the cabin and it's impossible to eat in peace on the deck. This is nothing to do with the honey though, the guys in Espoo said the same: wasps everywhere. Apparently the hospitals have had to treat a record number of wasp sting sufferers this summer.
