Four plants appeared in the raised bed. This is the largest. They looked like "real" plants, not weeds. I asked two visiting friends who both declared them to be squash or similar. No sign of any 'fruit' [yet]I have just dug up the last of the lettuces. They'd bolted and the leaves were tasting a little bitter. So Row 1 of the raised bed is now home to the 'volunteer squash' which I have carefully transplanted. You never know...
Talking to my 'London' SIL last night, I mentioned my beans - and the fact that despite lots of leaves and scarlet flowers, I've only had a couple of handfuls of beans. She said hers are just the same, as are "everyone else's". It is the hot weather, and I do not need to worry. Not just me then.
Here are the last few leaves and some more tasty toms.

The recent rain has certainly revived the grass, and refilled the butts, for which I am grateful. And there is the promise of more fruit and veg in coming months.
How does your garden grow, this week?
