Windy weather not good for gourds.

The weather is taking a turn for the worse for the next couple of days. Lots of wind and it is going to come from the north so will be much cooler. We may even get some rain! 
That will be good.

However, in my gardening book it says that marrows, pumpkins etc. do not like the wind.

My poor little courgette (zucchini) only has 4 leaves so may not be too affected but the pumpkins are trying to grow as are the spaghetti squash and marrow. I do not know when we find out how much the wind has affected them.

Here are two little spaghetti squash, they look good as of now.

And two possible pumpkins. I am not sure two growing that close together is a good idea, but will see if either sets and then decide what to do.



Broad beans do have amazing pods to protect them.

Quick splash in boiling water, rinse and pop some butter on, yummy.

French bean flowers, they are a pretty colour, the ladybird contrasts nicely with them. Hopefully we will get some beans soon after the broad beans finish.
