A walk around a chateau, and progress.

Went to look around Chateau Trevarez, but only two rooms were open because the RAF bombed it flat during the war and it's a bit expensive to restore. The gardens were nice though.

Wellingtonias in the grounds - about half grown and already taller than the castle.

Bit grim for my taste to be honest, and it was only used half the year for hunting parties.

Nice trees in the grounds - more interesting to me than the buildings.

Almost as nice as our garden! Things progressing well - probably because the slugs haven't found us yet:

All's well in the tunnel - the toms are twice as big as this now, and the peppers are waking up at last.

View from polytunnel to potato patch, with pea and bean poles in mid-ground. The green netting is scaffold net, which is to keep caterpillars and cats from destroying the veg. Early carrots under the one in the foreground.

Pea frames for the 10 ft high "Champion of England" peas to scramble up.

Belters.
