At times I cannot remember what I've accomplished and then I look back on this blog and think it's okay, I'm moving forward.

As always I've been busy in the vegetable plot. As I think I mentioned in my last blog the runner beans are doing exceptionally well and the surplus is going to a good home. I decided this week that my rhubarb is growing into a Triffid and therefore it needed to be culled. It's amazing how quickly the wheel barrow became full with the leaves that I cut off. There's still plenty left on the plant and it will survive until next season.

This is what bee genocide looks like. Thousands of dead bees decomposing. There's still a lot of cleaning up to be done. I'm not sure whether the smell is due to the dead bees or the honey that was left in the brood box
