French beans
Bpought this punnet a weekend or two ago and finally planted them yesterday (monday morning). I put three in two garden beds, to see whether the soil makes a difference between their growth.
They look like they might be ok, eventually.

Ghost chair
I was going to sell this, but I can't. It's too nice. I still don't know where to put it for best effect though. Maybe I can find a spot in the lounge.

End of winter grape vine sprig
Such a lovely, and exciting, surprise to see the first new leaves, and I haven't even had time to prune the vines yet!
I pruned them yesterday (Sunday 25 August) - sadly, that little leaf came off. I am hoping I am not too late or have done damage to the fruiting.

Washing hose time again - the big dry
Everything is so, so dry, it's time to get the hoses out from the washing machine, to see if it makes a difference.
7 Sept 2019 - Saturday - cleaning and laundry day. Good time for the hose on the lawn.
