    Most work in the garden is tidying up but I started on a second ShineyFrame yesterday. Got the ground weeded, dug over and composted and laid the membrane down. That's covered an area of 4m x 8m. Now I have to buy 10 x 8ft posts with 3" diameter. I'll get Michael to use his post driver to put them in. Then I'll have to drill each one so I can put four screws in each to take the overhead cables that will make up the framework.

    That will allow me to do away with the wigwams I put in to take the extra bean plants that don't fit the original Frame. It will save a lot of weeding and will let us grow French beans on frames as well.

    I was also searching for the first signs of bee orchids and have marked them with canes (12 so far :blue thumb:).

    Mrs Shiney filled two wheelie bins with the cut down Verbena Bonariensis. The stems are too woody to put on the compost heaps.

                          That's a pity :sad:

                          I harvested another bowl of Shiney Hybrids and another dozen Nagas for the Indian restaurant.

                          Mine are still going strong. Naga front left, Carolina Cayenne behind it and most of the others are Shiney Hybrids. From centre front and going out of picture to the right are Shiney Hybrids propagated last month and coming on well.

                          A close eye is kept on the plants and the night guard is still on duty :heehee:
