Couldn’t resist posting this pic of one of the visitors to the Suttons trials grounds ‘horticulture societies open day’, which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone and left them all buzzin t
o get back onto their allotments! Several comments of how spectacular the grounds were looking this year; and some envious connotations to say the least. The visitors were asked to pick out their favourite veg and flower varieties by sticking a blue marker into the ground and the results will be collected and noted for future reference.(Details of which varieties hold the grand title will be posted later)

On the Buddleia
just how many butterflies and bees are about this year? The buddleia is all a- flutter with peacocks (my favourite), red admirals and painted ladies again, which is really good news, I’ve had to chase the odd cabbage white off the broccoli though.
The bee population is healthy too - we’ve had some huge bumble bees - and our succession of nectar rich plants, have been well attended this year. Long may it continue. The downside is that there appears to be rather more wasps as well, and they look bigger and meaner too!
