It looked a bit messy for a while as if I had forgotten to pull up lettuce that had gone to seed. Instead, I wanted to see what the flowers might be like and it turns out they are lots of small blue flowers that last about a day and then are all gone, to be replaced a couple of days later with a new set. I am thinking they will not do this for too long and so soon the lettuce will finally be pulled up.

We have been doing evening watering visits and general weeding. The pea plants were mostly eaten by slugs and birds (they were last over plant from the garden and so I wasn’t too bothered) but we have still been able pick a couple of handfuls from them.
