British Summer blues.

Last week wasn't a good week for some of my potted veg.  The rain and cold nights all but finished off my 'Jack be little' pumpkin plant.


This wasn't the only pumpkin casualty, the 'Jacko lantern' I had concerns about has given up the ghost and dropped off.


I suppose in hindsight I knew the nights were going to be cold, so I should covered the plants with fleece.  I guess I just don't expect I'd have to get the covers out in Summer, then again these verities of pumpkin are probably not used to the chillier climes.  Oh well live and learn....
However it not been all doom and gloom in the garden, the nasturtium grown from ebay seeds have started to put on a good display!


I might just have to harvest some of the peppery leaves to add to a salad...
