Large radishes and big match

Somewhat delicate first thing and in need of much water. A peaceful day punctuated by popping into the garden to water things. There has been decent rain in the UK lately, but very little has reached Seaford. Lorraine and I harvested some large cucumbers and radishes bigger than golf balls today... Tasty too.

Unusually, however, quite a bit of the day was given over to watching the Wimbledon Men's final with Pat and Maureen. It was quite an epic battle. By the fifth set, needed to move, I popped out to water the courgettes and add buckets of rainwater into the fishpond and other pressing tasks, but returned for the last few games where Djokovic who has won the tournament many times (and who Maureen wanted to win) was overcome by Alcaraz, a twenty year old Spanish pretender to his throne. An epic encounter.  Maureen had wanted Ons Jabeur to win the ladies yesterday, but as Jabeur was beaten by an unseeded whippersnapper, Maureen grumpy about both games.

A peaceful evening, eating healthy food and sipping teas and mineral waters. 

Lorraine put this photo of me onto Instagram without me knowing. Not my best look, but is illustrative of our huge radishes. Plus a aubergine flower... Something I have never seen before.
