A dull day

Sunday turned out to be a dull and cloudy day which is pretty unusual this summer as we've normally had some sunshine during the day. 
A casualty of last winter was our pond side gunnera. It wasn’t exactly killed off but only produced a few weak new shoots and so we decided it was time for a change. A consequence of removing the gunnera is our water lily gets much more light and after a few flowerless years  in the shade has produced some flowers this year.

Our outdoor cucumber (Burpless Tasty Green) planted in our experimental air pot is doing well and now has its first tiny cucumbers forming. Its doing better than the ones at the plot as it’s getting a bit more TLC.
