| Climber Beans starting to form |
The climber beans are starting to form after the flower flush over the last 2 weeks. Hopefully this is the start of many beans to come. Daniar talked about baking veggies for dinner so I thought it was a high time to pull up some of the garden and eat it.

| King size beetroot |
Pulled out a bumper beetroot, the biggest I've grown. Fed some ot Max, had the rest of the half for dinner and still have half left. No woodyness at all in this one so they must like all the rain we have been getting.

| Parsnip numero uno |
Pulled up my first parsnip and very happy with the size. After reading a few posts on the internet I decided to dig most of the dirt out aroudn it before pulling the last bit out, it still broke off but I didn't lose much.

| Birdproof strawberry cage |
I've been losing a few strawberries to the birds so I roped Alex into helping me build a cage to cover them. Spent yesterday knocking up a timber frame with sticks and string lashing, then covered with chicken wire. Hopefully it will keep the birds off the strawberries.

| Fennel ready for eating |
I pulled up two parsnip today. The first one was a rotten mess on the inside. Well, not rotten as in stinky rotten but it was mush. Not sure how this had happened but at the moment I'm assuming it's due to all the wet weather we've had lately. I also noticed that there is a hardish stem rising up out of the center and probably heading up to become a flower.
