We waved goodbye to our last butterfly this morning. The first changed on Friday, just a week since it became a chrysalis. I thought they took about two weeks, maybe the hot weather speeded things up??? And BOY is it hot! Too hot for gardening. Too hot for doing anything!

We are picking loads of beans at the moment. I am freezing most of them as no-one seems hungry due to the extreem heat. We also have quite a few tomatoes and the courgettes are growing faster than i can pick them. We had 22 in the fridge the other day! Decided it was time to do a run around the neighbours and got rid of over half which is good because the would have just gone to waste otherwise.



Mmmm yum!
