<p style="font-size:16px">Now the bee hive has gone I've taken back control of the vegetable plot. It is still early in the season and not everything is growing as it should but it isn't doing too badly.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The sugar snap peas that have grown have been pecked to pieces by the wood pigeons. It was suggested I should cover them however to keep the wood pigeons off I would need to cover everything.</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">One of my favourite places in the garden is the greenhouse. I spend many a pleasant hour sowing seeds, potting on the young plants and generally tending to the tomato, pepper and cucumber plants.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As more plants are moved out into the garden the greenhouse becomes empty. I'm thinking I might start sowing bedding plants for next year.</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">It's been a while since I've cooked Tuna and sesame. This time I paired it with green beans I froze from last year, on a bed of pearl barley. The green beans were not great and I won't freeze them again however the Tuna was good.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>I do enjoy cooking when it goes right.</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">Although the bees have gone I did rescue the honey they had stored. This is a good frame with capped honey. The process of extraction is long and somewhat tedious but it's worthwhile.</p>

<p style="font-size:16px">This is the last time I will do this and therefore the honey will have rarity value. After several hours of hand spinning the centrifuge I had about 25 jars worth of golden honey.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It has to settle for a few days before it will be ready to put  into the jars. The big clean up then begins - work surfaces and floor. Everything gets covered in a thin film of sticky honey and it isn't easy to remove it.</p>
