Buzzy bees every where

Planted the Achocha Fat Baby next to the fence and it looks fantastic, I am very happy with it. I have 5 others in 1litre pots though and I dont know what I am going to do with them



When I planted the achocha in its "usual" spot, I noticed all the self seeds from last year produce that didnt get picked. Not to big but they are growing and growing very well. I will monitor to see how they do



Lots of the Bees in the garden this evening, spotted maybe 9 or 10 seperate bees. They were on the raspberries "Jonkheer van tets", the chives and the Catmint "Nepeta Racemosa"







Pulled a radish "Oriental Rosa 2" tonight. It tasted well like a radish... superb and peppery, this one was grown in a tub, pulled out as a smooth as a hot knife through butter and a quick wash from the hose and it was ready





Weather report - sunny day, Wakefield, England, lots of bees in the garden tonight. Dont know which type of bees but not honey bees.
