All your hard work is bringing things back under control quickly, Helen - weedeating (strimming? 😊) always makes everything look so much cleaner and more spacious. I really need to do some (a lot!) of that myself! 😁😎 Yep, right on about the orange balm. I didn't realize that about lemon balm when I planted it years ago. It let me know! 😂 Now I'd rather grow Lemon Verbena! Your green beans are gorgeous - and squash and broccoli! 👏👏👏 Great job - speaking as a fellow solo gardener! ☺️

Definitely hazelnuts Helen. Everything is growing like mad this year, especially the brambles! Well done spotting the caterpillars!

You may already know the unblemished and healthy looking broccoli leaves are delicious. If you compost them, you're discarding a very flavorful veggie. I, and many other gardeners, finely cut the leaves and simmer them for an hour or more in a broth with smoked meat, onions, and other seasonings until tender. Delicious!

I think they are cob nuts. Can you send the neglectful allotmenteers a gentle reminder letter as site rep? Borlotti beans are harvested for the inside beans and not the pods, lovely in stews in the winter😋. There are always more jobs to be done, you can’t do it all in one go, I hope you did not knock back your recovery by working so hard😮
