Shimmering in the heat!

The prolonged drought didn't do the beans any good, and the summer raspberries were very few. the spindle tree hasn't any fruits this year, pity for the birds. There do seem to be a bumper crop of blackberries. As for marrows, we are swamped!
I am just making an infusion of elder leaves as they are said to be good for mildew,which has attacked the Lord Derby apple.
During term-time there has been a Tuesday evening gardening club at the Patch, which has been very successful.
