Loving the sun in the garden

 My toilet roll experiment for growing the carrots in has failed! They're as bent and curly as ever!
 But I don't think Baby Wild cares, apparently they're "YUMMY"!
 And don't get her started on the peas. We had a full on tantrum today when she could no longer reach them, despite having eaten what seemed like her weight in them.  I really underestimated the support they would need this year and one of them has managed to collapse into a bit of a sprawling heap.

 The shells have been making great fairy boats in the paddling pool, and a rather relaxing way of munching and tossing over your shoulder whilst sunbathing.
 The carrots are so bent that this one has managed to poke back up through the soil again!
 And then there are the "illegal immigrants" as I think of them.  The seeds from the compost heap that have decided to make their home wherever tickles their fancy.  This tomato plant actually looks far healthier than those in our wee greenhouse. We'll wait and see how it fairs once the heat wave comes to an end I imagine....
Guessing its a bit too late for this strawberry plant to flower, but I decided to leave it be and see what happens.  Who knows?
