Garden update, August edition

I'm sure you're desperate to know what the status of our garden is.

I'm happy to report, it remains productive, with an explosion of both growth....

And (finally) tomatoes:

...peppers (L. is particularly pleased about these):

...strawberries:

....and the ever-growing pears:

We had a major problem with a white mildew that took over the courgettes, so drastic pruning was necessary.

It seems to have stopped the spread and has had the additional benefits of spurring the plants to create even more courgettes....and to encourage the newly-uncovered pumpkins to ripen.

With no less than four pumpkins in the making, I'm already having visions of delicious pumpkin pie in the fall.
