Fallow period - holidays


Another weed growing period - the traditional British seaside holiday. Somewhat bracing this year. A wet beach, with beach huts closed up against the stiff northerly wind.





Not a bikini in sight.

No swimmers in the sea, either.














Couldn't resist taking a photo of the local plant:


























It wasn't all cold and wet, thankfully.











Back home to weed clearing operations, for the umpteenth time. The green peas were submerged.



A good crop of mouldy strawberries was building up.
















Something was eating the broccoli, despite the netting.


But there was some reward, and suddenly it did feel like summer.
