How long it seems already since Luisa Brimble visited one fine, late summer morning to follow me around the Kitchen Garden, when the beans were lush, verdant and scrambling up their poles, It was hot, the days producing late afternoon thunderstorms and a high summer holiday atmosphere.
But oh how things have changed. The rain stopped, the leaves yellowed, we had a huge hail storm that smashed the tomatoes to smithereens and generally caused a great deal of havoc. We cleared up the mess, had a few events and garden visitors, then another storm caused minor flooding with all the associated windfall putting us right back where we were just weeks before! It’s been one extreme to another and in between, photo shoots for the book – hells bells….what chaos altogether! But here come a few posts to bring you up to date with recent goings-on at Glenmore!
